INTRODUCTORY, 


The  year  1880  is  destined  to  mark  a  new  era  in  the  history  of  Chi- 
cago, and  will  be  recorded  as  an  eventful  one  by  those  who  have  been 
reared  within  her  borders,  and  lived  to  witness  what  is  confidently 
believed  will  be  one  of  the  grandest  and  most  glorious  assemblages  of 
Knights  Templar  the  world  has  ever  known. 

In  placing  this  work  before  the  public,  the  compilers  have  endeav- 
ored to  encompass  in  as  brief  a  manner  as  possible  much  information 
respecting  the  early  days  of  Chicago,  her  astonishing  growth,  and  her 
present  proud  position  among  the  great  cities  of  America,  together 
with  views  of  Public  Buildings,  Hotels,  Theaters,  etc.,  the  location  of 
Places  of  Amusement,  Post  Office,  Hotels,  Banks,  Newspaper  offices, 
Churches,  Kailway  Depots  and  Ticket  offices,  Telegraph  offices,  the 
ordinance  relating  to  Hacks,  and  matter  of  a  character  to  interest  the 
thousands  of  strangers  who  will  visit  the  city  during  the  present  sum- 
mer. The  index  page  will  readily  direct  the  reader  where  to  find 
the  desired  information  upon  any  subject  named,  and  it  is  confidently 
believed  that  the  thorough  researches  of  the  publishers  and  the  result 
of  their  labors  as  given  herein,  will  cover  every  required  point,  be 
found  full  and  complete,  and  abide  the  test  of  criticism. 

Brevity  has  been  studiously  observed,  riot  by  meagerness  of  mate- 
rial, but  by  compression  of  matter;  and  it  is  intended  to  be  a  valuable 
and  comprehensive  book  of  reference  for  the  citizen  of  Chicago,  as 
well  as  an  almost  indispensable  guide  to  the  stranger. 

Included  in  the  work  will  be  found  a  short  and  concise  history  of 
the  Order  of  Knights  Templar,  and  of  the  General  Grand  Encamp- 
ment of  the  United  States,  together  with  a  full  and  Official  Programme 
of  the  festivities  to  be  tendered  during  the  Triennial  Conclave  to  be 
held  in  Chicago  in  August,  1880. 

All  of  which  is  respectfully  submitted  by

THE   OLD   BLOCK    BOUSE. 


CHICAGO,  1820  TO  1880. 


A  history  of  Chicago  !  Verily  the  words  are  light  and  simple  ;  but 
the  task  of  writing  a  full  and  complete  narrative  of  this  now  great 
metropolis,  from  the  days  of  Marquette  and  Joliet,  when  the  foot  of 
the  white  man  began  first  to  press  the  soil  whereon  now  stand  hun- 
dreds of  palatial  monuments,  tracing  the  magic  work  of  more  than 
three  score  years,  would  be  an  herculean  one  indeed.  Hundreds  of 
pages  have  been,  and  hundreds  more  might  be,  written  of  the  won- 
derful growth  of  the  city,  and  the  incidents  and  reminiscences  would 
fill  a  volume  of  no  mean  dimensions.  But  the  publishers  of  this  book 
design  giving  merely  the  outlines  of  such  a  history,  without  descend- 
ing to  details,  and  thus  comprise  the  more  important  events  in  the 
life  of  what  must  be  regarded  as  one  of  the  greatest  commercial  cen- 
ters of  the  world. 

The  name  "  Illinois  "  is  derived  from  Leno — "  man."  The  Dela- 
ware Indians  called  themselves  Lenno-Lenape,  which  means  "origin- 
al "  or  "  unmixed  men."  The  tribes  along  the  Illinois  gave  the 
French  explorers  to  understand  that  they  were  pure  blooded,  real  men. 
The  termination  "  ois  "  is  undoubtedly  of  French  origin. 

The  first  white  men  Mrho  visited  this  region  were  Marquette  and 
Joliet,  two  Jesuit  missionaries,  in  1662-3.  Canada  eventually  fell 
into  the  hands  of  the  English,  and  the  war  of  the  revolution  trans- 
ferred the  Northwestern  possessions  of  the  British  to  the  United 
States.  English  intrigue  still  stirred  up  Indian  warfare  upon  our 
border,  and  so  embittered  did  it  become  that  after  peace  was  effected 
a  general  war  of  the  western  Indians  against  the  United  States  was 
declared.  This  was  continued  till  the  year  1795,  when,  having  been 
roughly  handled  and  severely  chastised  by  Gen.  Wayne,  the  Chiefs  of 


EAKI.Y    DAYS    (IF    CHICAGO. 


the  several  tribes  concluded  a  treaty,  of  peace  with  him,  which  closed 
the  war  of  the  west.  In  this  treaty  the  Indians  ceded  to  the  United 
States,  among  other  small  tracts  of  land,  one  described  as  "  one  piece 
of  land  six  miles  square,  at  the  month  of  Chickajo  (Chicago)  river, 
where  a  Fort  formerly  stood."  •  In  this  treaty  is  contained  the  first 
land  trade  of  this  city. 

Not  many  years  passed  after  this  "  tract  and  parcel  of  land  "  had 
been  ceded  to  the  United  States,  ere  the  energetic  proprietors  thought 
it  practicable  to  enter  upon  actual  possession.  A  trade  was  already 
established  with  the  Indians,  which  needed  protection  ;  and  in  these 
regions,  remote  from  civilization,  peace  could  not  well  be  maintained 
among  the  tribes  without  a  show  of  that  restraining  force  which  was 
at  command.  Accordingly,  in  1804  the  government  built  the  first 
United  States  fort  occupying  this  locality.  It  stood  nearly  on  the  site 
of  the  fort  erected  in  1816,  and  finally  demolished  in  the  summer  of 
1856.  It  was  somewhat  different  in  its  structure  from  its  successor — 
having  two  block  houses,  one  on  the  south-east  corner,  the  other  at  the 
north-west.  On  the  north  side  was  a  sally-port,  or  subterranean  pas- 
sage, leading  from  the  parade  ground  to  the  river,  designed  as  a  place 
of  escape  in  an  emergency,  or  for  supplying  the  garrison  with  water 
in  time  of  a  siege.  The  whole  was  enclose'd  by  a  strong  palisade  of 
wooden  pickets.  At  the  west  of  the  fort,  and  fronting  north  on  the 
river,  was  a  two-story  log  building,  covered  with  split  oak  siding, 
which  was  the  United  States  factory,  attached  to  the-  fort.  On  the 
shore  of  the  river,  between  the  fort  and  the  factory,  were  the  root 
houses  or  cellars  of  the  garrison.  The  ground  adjoining  the  fort  on 
the  south  side  was  enclosed  and  cultivated  as  a  garden.  The  fort  was 
furnished  with  three  pieces  of  light  artillery.  A  company  of  United 
States  troops,  about  fifty  in  number,  many  of  whom  were  invalids, 
constituted  the  garrison.  It  received  the  name  of  Fort  Dearborn,  by 
which  it  was  ever  after  known  as  long  as  it  continued  a  military  post. 
Such  was  the  old  fort  previous  to  1812. 

Up  to  the  time  of  the  erection  of  this  fort  no  white  man  had  made 
here  his  home.     The    Pottawatomie    Indians    had    undisputed    sway.

Their  villages  were  all  in  this  vicinity.  In  addition  to  the  garrison, 
there  soon  gathered  here  a  few  families  of  French,  Canadians  and 
half-breeds,  consisting  of  that  floating  class  which  hang  about  a  mili- 
tary post  or  an  Indian  trading  station.  Whatever  there  was  of  civil- 
ized society,  which  has  connected  those  days  of  the  past  in  a  bright 
chain  of  identity  with  the  present,  was  sustained  in  the  Kinzie  family. 
And  such  was  the  nucleus  of  a  community  formed  in  the  center  of 
the  North- West  but  half  a  century  ago,  shut  out  from  communication 
with  all  the  world,  except  by  the  waters  of  the  lakes — passed  over  but 
once  or  twice  a  year  by  a  single  sail  vessel — or  by  Indian  trails  to 
other  almost  as  isolated  communities,  at  St.  Louis,  Detroit  or  Fort 
Wayne.  It  was  certainly  a  way-mark  in  the  wilderness  far  in  advance 
of  civilization.  They  were  a  little  world  unto  themselves.  They 
pursued  in  an  even  way  the  narrow  routine  of  pioneer  life,  furnishing 
few  incidents  of  sufficient  note  to  fill  up  a  page  of  historv,  from  the 
time  of  the  erection  of  this  fort,  till  the  one  great  incident,  which 
blotted  it  out — the  massacre  of  1812. 

When  the  war  with  Great  Britain  broke  out,  our  Government,  ap- 
prehensive that  so  distant  a  post  could  not  be  maintained,  ordered  the 
commander  to  distribute  the  Government  property  among  the  Indians, 
and  march  his  troops  to  Fort  Wayne.  Nearly  all  the  officers  remon- 
strated against  carrying  out  the  instructions,  but  Capt.  Heald  called 
a  council,  and  laid  the  propositions  of  the  Government  before  the  In- 
dians, asking  in  return  their  escort  to  Fort  Wayne,  which  they  prom- 
ised to  give. 

The  fort  was  well  supplied  with  provisions  and  military  stores,  but 
during  the  night,  lest  the  guns  and  ammunition  which  they  were  to 
distribute  the  next  day  to  the  savages  might  prove  a  dangerous  gift, 
although  promised  to  them,  the  powder  was  thrown  into  the  well,  the 
guns  were  broken,  the  cannon  thrown  into  the  river,  and  the  liquor 
shared  the  same  fate.  When  the  Indians  came  together  the  following 
day  to  receive  the  promised  presents,  they  gave  evidence  of  dissatis- 
faction and  deep  seated  revenge,  when  only  the  remaining  goods  were 
distributed.  They  charged  the  whites  with  bad  faith,  and,  aroused  to

EARLY    DAYS    OF    CHICAGO. 


the   highest   pitch  of  resentment,  left   the  immediate  vicinity,  to  pre- 
pare for  a  bitter  revenge. 

On  the  morning  of  the  15th  of  August  the  troops  took  up  their 
line  of  march  for  Fort  Wayne,  and  had  proceeded  along  the  lake  shore 
about  a  mile  and  a  half  when  they  were  suddenly  attacked  by  a  party 
of  Pottawatomies,  who  lay  in  ambush  behind  the  sand  hills.  Although 
the  troops  did  not  flinch  for  a  moment,  but  charged  and  dislodged  the 
Indians  in  front,  their  great  numbers  enabled  them  to  outflank  the 
troops,  and  being  under  a  heavy  cross-fire,  Capt.  Heald,  confident  that 
further  resistance  was  entirely  vain,  agreed  to  surrender  on  condition 
that  the  lives  of  the  prisoners  should  be  spared. 


FORT   DEARBORN. 

The  troops  delivered  up  their  arms,  and  were  marched  back  to  the 
fort.  The  Indians  violated  their  agreement,  and  the  fort  was  plundered 
and  burned.  The  children,  twelve  in  number,  were  placed  in  a  bag- 
gage wagon  and  slain  by  the  tomahawk  of  a  single  savage.  Twenty- 
six  of  the  regular  troops  and  twelve  militiamen,  with  two  women,  were 
killed  in  the  action  and  subsequent  massacre.  No  effort  was  made  to 
re-establish  the  fort  during  the  war. 

In  1S1G  it  was  rebuilt,  and  continued  to  be  occupied  till  1837,  when

it  was  abandoned.  On  a  part  of  the  grounds  of  the  fort  the  U.  S. 
Marine  Hospital  stood  for  many  years. 

In  ISO-t  the  first  house  was  built  here  by  John  Kinzie,  an  Indian 
trader,  and  in  1818  there  were  but  two  white  families  resident.  The 
American  Fur  Company  had  trading  posts  at  convenient  distances  all 
through  this  section.  In  1828  another  Indian  war  was  threatened, 
but  the  Indians  were  pacified  by  the  presence  of  a  large  force  under 
Gen.  Atkinson,  and  very  little  mischief  was  done. 

Cook  county  was  organized  in  March  1831,  and  included  all  the  ter- 
ritory in  the  counties  of  Lake,  Mclienry,  Dupage,  "Will  and  Iroquois, 
and  there  were  but  a  dozen  families  constituting,  with  the  officers  and 
soldiers  in  the  fort,  the  entire  population  of  Chicago  at  this  time. 
The  original  town  was  surveyed  in  1829,  and  the  first  map  was  made 
by  James  Thompson,  being  dated  August  4,  1830. 

The  winter  of  1831-2  was  long  and  intensely  cold,  and  on  the  ap- 
proach of  spring  it  was  announced  that  Black  Hawk,  with  about  500 
Sank  and  Fox  Indians,  was  moving  up  Rock  "River  with  hostile  intent, 
burning  houses  and  destroying  property.  What  few  inhabitants  were 
in  the  surrounding  country  made  their  way  to  Chicago,  and  by  the 
middle  of  May  near  seven  hundred  souls,  two-thirds  of  whom  were 
women  and  children,  sought  safety  in  Fort  Dearborn,  where  no  effort 
was  spared  by  the  officer  in  charge,  Col.  Owen,  to  accommodate  all 
that  came.  After  the  defeat  of  Black  Hawk,  and  his  capture  in  Aug- 
ust, and  delivery  at  Prairie  du  Chien,  the  war  terminated,  and  the 
Indians  relinquished  all  their  claim  to  the  country,  and  agreed  to  move 
west  of  the  Missouri. 

The  first  election  for  five  Trustees  of  the  Town  of  Chicago  was  held 
August  10,  1833,  at  which  there  were  twenty-eight  voters.  On  the 
26th  of  November,  of  the  same  year,  the  first  newspaper  printed  in 
Chicago  was  published  by  John  Calhoun. 

During  the  summer  of  1833,  Chicago,  in  population,  grew  rapidly. 

At  that  time  there  was  but  one  mail  per  week  received  here,  which 

was  carried  on  horseback  from  Niles,  Michigan.     In  1834  it  is  said 

that  emigration  had  fairly  commenced,  and  the  arrivals  by  boat  and

otherwise  averaged  ten  persons  per  clay,  and  the  total  number  of  votes 
polled  in  Cook  County  at  the  August  election  of  that  year  was  528, 
while  in  November,  1835,  at  the  first  census  taken,  the  Town  contained 
3,265  and  the  County  9,773  inhabitants. 

The  Fire  Department  was  organized  in  September,  1835,  and  in 
October,  1836,  steps  were  taken  towards  obtaining  a  city  charter. 
The  charter  was  granted  by  the  Legislature,  and  approved  March  4, 
1837,  and  the  first  election  for  city  officers  was  held  in  May,  1837, 
when  William  B.  Ogden  was  chosen  Mayor,  John  Shrigley  High 
Constable,  and  N.  B.  Judd  City  Attorne}r.  From  this  time  onward 
the  growth  of  Chicago — an  increase  never  before  equalled  by  any  city 
in  the  history  of  the  world — was  assured. 

The  city  began  to  attract  the  attention  of  the  outside  world  about 
the  year  1850.  In  little  more  than  a  decade  she  had  risen  from  a  vil- 
lage of  a  few  hundred  inhabitants  to  be  a  city  with  a  population  of 
thirty  thousand  of  the  widest-awake  and  most  energetic  people  on  the 
face  of  the  earth. 

Page's  Guide  thus  refers  to  this  portion  of  the  history  of  Chicago : 

"  An  opportunity  unparalleled 
lay  before  her.  The  heart  of  the 
continent,  containing  millions  of 
square  miles  of  fertile  soil,  was  al- 
most untapped  ;  an  immense  terri- 
tory was  waiting  for  the  plough.  A 
great  commerce  was  destined  to  flow 
from  these  hitherto  unoccupied 
lands.  Where  should  it  find  its 
center  ?  Older  cities  were  reaching 
out  after  it ;  they  had  accumulated 
capital,  established  lines  of  com- 
munication, the  great  central  rivers  of  the  continent  to  aid  them. 
Chicago  held  command  of  the  lakes — the  finest  system  of  inland  navi- 
gation ever  known. 

"A  new  power  in  commerce  came  to  the  front  with  giant  strides —

the  locomotive,  destined  to  be  the  great  agent  in  peopling  the  prai- 
ries of  the  West.  This  powerful  ally  was  on  the  side  of  whoever 
could  bring  it  to  bear  the  soonest  and  most  effectively  ;  natural  ad- 
vantages became  secondary  ;  the  command  of  railway  lines  was  the 
first  thing  to  be  secured.  Our  citizens  of  thirty  years  ago  were  alive 
to  these  facts  ;  they  were  not  the  men  to  miss  the  tide  at  its  flood. 
Railway  communications  were  secured  in  all  directions  with  the  least

possible  delay.  In  1852  the  Lake  Shore  and  Michigan  Central  lines 
each  established  their  connections  with  Chicago,  and  from  that  time 
onward  year  by  year  new  roads  were  added,  till  now  a  score  of  trunk 
lines  radiating  in  all  directions,  and  aggregating  over  12,000  miles  of 
road,  have  their  center  in  Chicago.

"  But  the  wisest  of  our  citizens  of  the  early  days  of  1850  could 
scarcely  have  dreamed  of  the  wonderful  strides  Chicago  was  destined 
to  make  in  population  and  trade. .  The  census  of  1860  showed  that 
our  population  had  advanced  from  30,000  to  112,172  in  ten  years.  No 
o:lier  city  under  the  sun  has  ever  shown  such  great  progress  as  this  !

In  1870  the  census  showed  a  population  of  298,977,  again  nearly  three 
hundred  per  cent,  of  an  increase  in  ten  years.  The  decade  jnst  passed 
has  been  a  period  mainly  of  depression  in  business  throughout  the 
world,  and  one  of  especial  trial  to  Chicago  ;  but  there  has  been  no 
halt  in  her  progress,  and  the  lowest  estimates  now  place  our  popu 
lation  at  between  five  and  six  hundred  thousand  souls.

"  That  the  commerce  of  the  city  has  more  than  kept  pace  with  its 
population,  the  following  figures  will  clearly  show  : 

"  Business  done  by  wholesale  dealers  and  manufacturers,     1850  $  20,000,000 

1860  97,000,000 

"                 1870  377,000,000 

1879  764.000,000 

"  These  enormous  amounts  do  not  include  the  business  done  by  re- 
tailers, nor  are  they  the  result  of  the  combined  purchases  and  sales  of 
wholesale  houses,  but  represent  only  the  amount  of  sales  made,  after

deducting  the  value  of  goods  handled  twice — that  is  to  say,  such 
goods  as  are  manufactured  in  the  city  and  sold  through  our  wholesale 
merchants.  As  has  been  intimated,  no  other  city  has  ever  had  equal 
opportunities  of  advancement  with  Chicago  ;  but,  on  the  other  hand, 
there  have  been  unprecedented  difficulties  to  overcome,  and  the  way  m 
which  these  have  been  met  and  conquered  is  such  as  to  challenge  the 
admiration  of  the  world,  and  to  prove  that  it  is  not  alone  the  natural

advantages  of  her  situation  that  have  made  Chicago  what  she  is,  but 
that  these  have  been  seconded  in  no  ordinary  degree  by  the  indomita- 
ble coiwage  and  dauntless  energy  of  her  citizens." 

The  disaster  of  1871,  when  the  great  fire-fiend  appalled  the  world 
by  the  almost  total  destruction  of  the  city,  is  of  so  recent  a  date  that 
but  few  words  are  needed  in  relation  to  it  here.  The  entire  business 
portion  ot  the  city  was  consumed,  and  over  one  hundred  thousand  of 
its  inhabitants  were  left  homeless  and  impoverished.  About  eighteen

thousand  buildings  were  destroyed,  and  two  hundred  millions  of  dol- 
lars worth  of  property  laid  in  ashes.  The  people  of  all  countries 
manifested  their  sympathy  most  heartily,  and  came  to  the  relief  of  a 
community  whose  energy,  perseverance  and  progressive  spirit,  without 
wasting  an  hour  in  vain  regret,  set  them  about  rebuilding  their  city, 
and  it  is  now  more  substantial,  imposing  and  grander  than  it  was  be-

fore.  Strangers  who  now  look  upon  the  magnificent  granite  buildings 
which  cover  the  old  ruins  of  1871,  are  struck  with  wonder  at  the  ele- 
gance of  the  work,  and  the  speed  witli  which  they  have  been  reared. 
Truly,  it  is  something  to  astonish  mankind. 

A  humorous  anec- 
dote is  related  to  illus- 
trate the  spirit  and 
"vim"  of  the  men  who 
made  Chicago.  An 
I  intelligent  and  shrewd 
gentleman  arrived  one 
morning  several  years 
since,  intending  to  lo- 
cate, and  searched  in 
vain  for  a  store  room 
or  place  of  business  ; 
but  everything  was 
snapped  up  as  soon  as 
completed,  which  fact 
convinced  him  that 
he  must  use  his  sharp- 
est wits,  and  keep  his 
;E:  eyes  open,  or  "  get 
left."  When  almost 
discouraged  and  about 
CHICAGO  RIVER — CLARK  STREET  BRIDGE.  to  abandon  his  pro- 

ject,  he  one  day  met  a  son  of  Erin,  armed  with  pick  and  shovel,  on 
his  way  to  work.  He  inquired  of  Pat  where  he  was  laboring,  and  was 
informed  that  he  was  just  about  to  commence  work  on  a  new  building 
at  a  certain  place.  The  anxious  would-be  settler  followed  him  up, 
and  learning  who  the  proprietor  of  the  contemplated  building  was, 
"  went  for  him  "  and  secured  the  first  floor  before  even  the  foundation 
walls  were  laid.  In  thirty  days  the  party  was  selling  goods  in  the

new  building,  and  is  now  one  of  our  wealthiest  and  most  energetic 
citizens.  This  is  characteristic  of  the  progressive  spirit  her  people 
have  always  evinced. 

To-day,  only  a  little  more  than  eight  years  from  the  time  of  the  dis- 
aster, the  city  presents  so  many  miles  of  stately  streets,  such  evidences 
on  eveYy  hand  of  accumulated  wealth,  that  the  visitor  can  scarcely 
realize  the  fact  that  all  he  sees  has  been  created  within  so  short  a 
time.  It  seems  more  like  a  tale  from  the  Arabian  Nights  than  a  sober 
reality  of  the  present  age. 

Less  than  three  years  after  the  Great  Fire,  Chicago  was  visited  with 
another  conflagration.  On  July  14,  1874,  a  fire  broke  out  in  the  heart 
of  the  city  which  swept  over  eighteen  blocks,  and  destroyed  $4,000,000 
worth  of  property.  Fortunately  in  this  case  the  solid  edifices,  which 
are  the  pride  of  the  city,  were  spared,  most  of  those  destroyed  being 
wooden  shanties  which  could  with  much  benefit  be  replaced  with 
buildings  of  a  more  substantial  sort. 

From  1874  the  march  of  Chicago  has  been  steadily  upward  and 
onward,  and  every  step  has  been  an  advance.  Buildings  are  being 
erected  on  every  hand,  and  are  occupied  the  moment  they  are  com- 
pleted. Indeed,  during  all  the  years  of  commercial  depression  she 
has  seemed  to  feel  it  less  than  her  neighboring  and  sister  cities,  and 
thus  in  the  beginning  of  the  summer  of  1880  she  stands  proiidly  be- 
fore the  world  as  one  of  the  wonders  of  the  nineteenth  century. 

A  word,  in  conclusion,  as  to  the  health  of  the  city.  Some  of  the 
newspapers,  during  the  past  few  years,  in  a  spirit  of  sportive  irony 
have  bantered  the  editor  of  the  Tribune  upon  his  enthusiastic  praises 
of  Chicago  as  a  "summer  resort."  But  Mr.  Medill  never  spoke  truer 
words  than  when  he  asserted  that  this  is  one  of  the  healthiest  cities 
in  the  world.  With  the  lake  on  the  east,  and  the  broad  prairies  sur- 
rounding us  westward,  we  have  at  all  times  during  the  heated  terms 
in  other  western  cities,  a  healthful  and  invigorating  breeze,  and  those 
of  our  citizens  who,  for  a  change  of  sir, -make  pleasure  tours  in  mid- 
summer, are  generally  giad  to  get  back.  The  mortality  reports  of  the 
city  will  compare  most  favorably  with  those  of  any  other  city  in  the 
country.

PARKS  AND  BOULEVARDS. 


The  system  of  Parks  and  Boulevards  in  Chicago  is  certainly  more 
elaborate  than  that  of  any  city  in  the  country,  and  when  completed  a 
belt  of  verdure  will  surround  the  city  on  its  northern,  western  and 
southern  margins.  The  bulk  of  the  ground  devoted  to  Park  purposes 
has  been  purchased  within  the  last  twelve  years,  at  a  cost,  with  the 
improvements,  of  over  ten  millions  of  dollars.  The  Parks  are  em- 
braced in  one  comprehensive  scheme,  which  is  certainly  unique,  and 
characterized  by  that  thoroughness  which  distinguishes  all  Chicago 
undertakings. 

.Lincoln  Park,  situated  on 
the  North  Side,  on  the  lake 
shore,  has  a  frontage,  inclu- 
ding the  drive  from  the  Wa- 
ter Works,  of  two  and  a 
quarter  miles.  For  a  prairie 
country  this  Park  id  a  re- 
markably picturesque  one — 
a  literal  blooming  garden. 

The  next  and  most  striking 
in  the  series  is  Humboldt 
Park,  situated  at  the  north- 
western limits  of  the  city. 

Central    Park,   one    mile 
south  of  Humboldt  Park,  its

roughfares  of  the  city,  is  the  great  feature  of  the  West  Side  Park 
system. 

To  the  south  of  Central, and  on  a  line  with  Humboldt,  lies  Douglas 
Park,  which  has  its  own  many  striking  and  pleasing  features. 

On  the  South  side  of  the  city   the  great  South  Parks  are  located, 

which  are  connected  with  the  West  Side  system  and  the  center  of  the

city  by  Boulevards,  from  two  to  four  hundred  feet  wide.  Being  situ- 
ated conveniently  to  one  of  the  most  aristocratic  quarters  of  the  city, 

they  are  more  espe- 
cially the  resort  of 
our  well-to-do  citi- 
zens, and  those  who 
delight  in  the  con- 
templation of  beau- 
ty and  fashion,  gaily 
caparisoned  horses, 
and  handsomely  fur- 
nished equipages, 
should  spend  the 
afternoon  of  some 
fine  day  in  the  Parks 
of  the  South  Side. 

The  Grand  Boule- 
vard commences  at 
Douglas    avenue, 
five  blocks  east  of 
LAKE  VIEW  IN  CENTRAL  PARK.  Michigan    Avenue. 

It  is  practically  a  continuation  of  South  Park  Avenue.  It  stretches 
away  for  two  miles  in  a  straight  line,  on  which  a  thousand  carriages 
may  be  seen  almost  any  pleasant  afternoon.  The  Boulevard  has  a  cen- 
tral driveway  fifty-five  feet  wide,  of  the  finest  quality.  Outside  of 
this  are  rows  of  trees  and  a  rich  greensward.  Beyond  this  a  superb 
sidewalk. 

Drexel  Boulevard,  or  Grove  Parkway,  as  it  is  now  officially  called, 
is  two  hundred  feet  wide,  and  a  mile  and  a  half  in  length.  The  plan 
comprises  a  central  ornamental  space,  ninety  feet  wide,  adorned  with 
paths  and  grass  plots,  and  planted  with  trees,  shrubs  and  flowers,  and 
a  driveway  on  each  side.  Grand  Boulevard  suggests  dash  and  whirl, 
but  when  one  turns  into  Drexel,  he  feels  like  slacking  up  to  inhale  the 
perfume  of  the  flowers,  and  feast  the  eye  upon  the  elegant  floral  dis- 
play to  be  observed  on  either  side.

To  KNIGHTS  TEMPLAR,  GREETING  : 


In  the  following  pages  the  publishers  have  gathered  and  consolida- 
ted a  large  amount  of  matter  relating  to  the  ancient  and  modern  life 
of  Knighthood,  embracing  the  trying  days  of  the  Crusades,  and  fol- 
lowing, step  by  step,  the  progress  and  growth  of  the  Order  down  to 
the  present  time.  Also  a  table  of  times  and  places  of  organizations

THE  DAYS  OF  KNIGHTHOOD, 


"  In  days  of  old  our  fathers  went  to  war, 
Expecting  sturdy  blows  and  scanty  fare  ; 
Their  beef  they  often  in  their  morion  stew'd, 
And  in  their  basket-hilt  their  beverage  brew'd." 

Away  back  in  the  world's  history,  so  far  that  modern  eyes  trace  the 
old  and  time-worn  pages  with  wonder,  dates  the  first  days  of  Knight- 
hood. The  Romans  are  said  to  have  established  the  earliest  Orders  of 
Knights,  and  it  was  a  sort  of  nobility  sought  after  and  appreciated, 
for  it  testified  in  the  strongest  possible  manner  to  the  merit  of  the 
wearer  of  knightly  armor.  The  Crusaders  made  religious  professors 
of  all  Knights,  and  never  was  one  present  at  the  reading  of  the  gospel 
who  did  not  hold  the  sword  pointed  to  the  book,  in  testimony  of  his 
desire  to  uphold  its  teaching  by  force  of  arms.  Achilles  was  consid- 
ered of  true  knightly  spirit.  He  had  a  supreme  indifference  as  to 
what  side  he  fought  on,  but  held  a  warm  affection  for  friends,  and 
looked  at  death  calmly.  The  young  and  chivalric  Knights  courted  the

foremost  places  of  danger,  and  would  gladly  have  given  their  last 
drops  of  blood  to  serve  the  cause  in  which  they  were  engaged.  "With 
their  determination  to  uphold  and  defend  the  scriptures,  was  also 
combined  a  iixed  resolution  to  display  courtesy,  gallantry  and  readi- 
ness to  protect  defenceless  women.  Olibion,  the  son  of  Asteriel,  of 
the  line  of  Japhet,  is  said  to  have  been  the  first  Knight  ever  created. 
There  seems  to  be  little  doubt  that  Kiiecht  was  the  original  title, 
meaning  a  servant  to  the  King.  Later  on  it  was  declared  that  only 
military  men  should  be  made  Knights.  When  Suffolk  yielded  to 
Regnault,  about  four  hundred  years  ago,  he  asked  the  victor,  "  Are 
you  gentleman  or  Knight  ?"  Eegnault  replied,  "I  am  a  gentleman  , 
but  not  yet  a  Knight."  "Whereupon  Suftblk,  according  to  the  custom 
that  a  Knight  never  surrendered  his  sword  but  to  a  Knight,  bade  Reg- 
nault  kneel,  dubbed  him  Knight,  received  the  accustomed  oaths,  and 
gave  up  his  sword  to  the  new  chevalier. 

The  class  of  knighthood  with  which  we  propose  mostly  to  deal  in 
this  work  is  that  relating  to  the  days  of  the  Temple.  In  the  early 
ages  of  the  Christian  Church  the  holy  veneration  for  the  scenes  which 
had  been  consecrated  by  the  sufferings  and  death  of  the  founder  of  our 
religion,  led  thousands  of  pious  pilgrims  to  visit  Jerusalem,  for  the 
purpose  of  offering  up  their  devotions  at  the  sepulchre  of  the  Lord. 
To  such  a  hight  did  this  religious  enthusiasm  arrive  that  in  the  year 
1064  not  less  than  seven  thousand  pilgrims  assembled  from  all  parts 
of  Europe  around  the  tomb  of  Christ.  At  a  time  when  the  facilities 
of  intercourse  which  now  exist  were  unknown,'  a  journey  was  always 
attended  with  difficulties  and  dangers,  to  which  the  youthful,  the  aged 
and  the  infirm  were  often  sacrificed.  But  when  Palestine  was  con 
([iiered  by  the  Arabs,  and  the  land  of  pilgrimage  became  inlested  by 
hordes  of  barbarous  fanatics,  inspired  with  the  most  intense  hatred 
toward  Christianity — these  difficulties  and  dangers  were  eminently 
increased.  The  tale  of  the  sufferings  inflicted  upon  the  pilgrims  by 
the  Mussulman  possessors  of  Jerusalem,  excited  in  Europe  an  enthu- 
siastic indignation  which  led  to  the  institution  of  the  Crusades  wars. 
undertaken  solely  for  the  purpose  of  recovering  the  holy  laud  from  the 
followers  of  Mahomet. 


THK  DAYS  OF   KNIGHTHOOD.  '     47 


In  1099  the  city  of  Jerusalem  was  captured  by  the  Crusaders,  the 
consequence  of  which  was  an  increase  in  the  zeal  of  pilgrimage,  which 
had  been  gathering  intensity  during  its  long -suppression  by  the  bar- 
barities of  the  Turcomans.  Although  the  infidels  had  been  driven 
out  of  Jerusalem,  they  had  not  been  expelled  from  Palestine,  but  still 
continued  to  infest  the  lofty  mountains  bordering  on  the  seacoast, 
from  whose  inaccessible  stronghold  they  were  wont  to  make  incursions 
into  the  roads  surrounding  the  holy  city,  and  pillage  every  unguarded 
traveler. 

To  protect  the  pious  pilgrims. thus  exposed  to  plunder  and  death, 
nine  noble  Knights  who  had  previously  distinguished  themselves  at 
the  siege  of  Jerusalem,  imited  in  a  brotherhood,  and  bound  them- 
selves by  a  solemn  compact  to  aid  one  another  in  clearing  the  high- 
ways of  infidels  and  robbers,  and  in  protecting  the  pilgrims  through 
the  passes  and  defiles  of  the  mountains  to  the  holy  city.  Of  these 
nine  who  formed  the  compact,  the  names  of  only  two  seem  to  have 
been  preserved  with  certainty,  viz  :  Hugh  de  Payens  and  Godfrey  de 
St.  Aldemar.  Six  of  the  others  are  named  by  Wilke  as  Koral  Gunde- 
mar,  Godfrey  Bisol,  Payens  de  Montidier,  Archibald  de  St.  Aman, 
Andre  'de  Montbar  and  the  Count  of  Provence.  They  united  the 
military  with  the  monastic  character,  and  in  the  presence  of  the  Pa- 
triarch of  Jerusalem  took  the  usual  vows  of  chastity,  poverty  ;r..,l 
obedience,  and  with  deep  humility  assumed  their  title  of  "  Poor  Fellow 
Soldiers  of  Christ." 

Baldwyn,  King  of  Jerusalem,  gave  them,  in  1118,  for  a  dwelling,  a 
part  of  the  church  which  had  been  built  by  the  Emperor  Justinian, 
within  the  site  of  which  the  Temple  of  Solomon  had  been  erected  on 
Mount  Moriah,  and  adjoining  to  the  Temple  which  had  been  built  by 
the  Caliph  Omar.  The  Abbot  and  Canons  of  the  Temple  also  ten- 
dered to  them  a  building  in  which  to  store  their  arms  and  accoutre- 
ments. From  this  fact  they  derived  the  name  of  Templars,  a  title 
which  has  been  retained  by  their  followers  to  the  present  day. 

The  views  of  the  order  now  became  more  extensive,  and  they  added 
to  their  profession  of  protecting  poor  pilgrims  that  of  defending  the 


48  THE   DAYS   OF   KNIGHTHOOD. 

kingdom  of  Jerusalem  and  the  whole  eastern  church  from  the  attacks 
of  the  infidels.  Hugh  de  Payens  was  chosen  by  the  Knights  their 
leader,  under  the  title  of  "  Master  of  the  Temple."  Their  name  and 
reputation  spread  rapidly  through  Eurepe,  and  many  of  the  nobles  of 
the  west  who  had  visited  Palestine  as"  pilgrims,  became  members  of 
the  Order. 

In  1128  Hugh  de  Payens  was  sent  to  Europe  by  King  Baldwyn  to 
get  permission  from  Pope  Honorius  II.  to  form  a  religious  military 
order  similar  to  that  of  the  Hospitalers  of  Jerusalem.  The  pontiff 
approved  of  the  petition  and  sent  him  to  Troyes,  in  Champagne, 
where  the  ecclesiastical  council  was  in  session,  and  where  the  ambas- 
sador was  received  with  due  courtesy,  his  project  rehearsed,  and  St. 
Bernard  directed  to  prescribe  rules  for  the  new  Order,  which  was  en- 
titled Pauperes  commilitis  Christi  et  Templi  Solomonis — "  Poor 
Fellow  Soldiers  of  Christ  and  of  the  Temple  of  Solomon."  The  rules 
enjoined  severe  devotional  exercises,  fasting,  prayer  and  self  mortifi- 
cation. Thus  provided  with  a  rule  that  should  give  permanence  and 
authority  to  the  Order,  the  ambassador  returned  to  Jerusalem,  accom- 
panied by  many  recruits  from  some  of  the  noblest  families  of  Europ-. 
He  also  received  from  different  princes  and  nobles  many  liberal  dona- 
tions of  land  and  money.  In  England  especially,  where  the  amounts 
donated  were  large,  he  established  a  branch  01'  the  Order  placing  a 
Knight  Templar  at  its  head  as  his  vicegerent,  with  the  title  of  Prior 
of  the  Temple.  The  Templars  everywhere  eminently  distinguished 
themselves  as  warriors  and  soldiers  of  the  cross. 

The  dress  prescribed  to  them  by  the  rule  of  St.  Bernard  consisted 
of  a  white  mantle,  to  commend  themselves  to  their  Creator  by  a  pure, 
white  life.  To  this  Pope  Eugenius  some  years  afterwards  added  a 
red  cross,  as  a  symbol  of  martyrdom.  Their  banner  was  half  black 
and  half  white,  called  beauseant  ;  that  is  to  say,  well-becoming,  be- 
cause they  were  fair  and  favorable  to  the  friends  of  Christ,  but  black 
and  terrible  to  his  enemies. 

The  order  was  divided  into  three  classes,  viz  :  Knights,  Chaplains 
and  Serving  Brethren.  It  was  required  of  whoever  presented  himself 


THE   DAYS   OF   KNIGHTHOOD.  49 

for  knighthood  must  prove  that  he  was  a  member  of  some  knightly 
family  ;  born  in  lawful  wedlock  ;  that  he  was  free  from  all  previous 
obligations  ;  that  he  was  neither  married  nor  betrothed  ;  that  he  had 
not  made  any  vows  of  reception  in  another  Order  ;  that  he  was  not 
involved  in  debt  ;  and,  finally,  that  he  was  of  sound  and  healthy  con- 
stitution of  body. 

The  Chaplains  were  admitted  as  spiritual  advisers  by  a  bull  of  Pope 
Alexander  III.  in  1162.  They  were  required  to  serve  a  novitiate  of 
one  year.  They  were  received  the  same  as  Knights,  except  that  they 
took  upon  themselves  only  three  of  the  vows — chastity,  poverty  and 
obedience.  Their  duties  were  to  perform  all  religious  offices,  and  to 
officiate  at  all  ceremonies  of  admission  and  installation.  They  were 
privileged  to  sit  next  the  Master,  and  be  first  served  at  table. 

The  Serving  Brethren  were  often  of  wealth  and  high  standing. 
The  only  qualification  for  their  admission  was  that  they  were  free- 
born,  not  slaves.  They  fought  beside  the  Knights  in  the  field,  and  at 
home  performed  the  menial  offices  of  the  household.  At  first  there 
was  but  one  class,  but  afterwards  they  were  divided  into  two,  and 
called  the  Brethren-at-Arms  and  the  Handicraft  Brethren.  The 
former  were  soldiers,  while  the  latter  exercised  their  various  trades, 
such  as  armorers,  farriers,  etc.  Their  reception  was  similar  to  that  of 
the  Knights,  but  the  accident  of  birth  precluded  promotion  for  them 
out  of  their  class. 

There  was  a  fourth  class  at  this  time  called  the  Affiliated,  consisting 
of  both  sexes  and  from  various  ranks.  They  were  recognized  by  the 
Order,  though  not  openly  connected  with  it,  and  entitled  to  its  protec- 
tion and  some  of  its  privileges. 

There  was  still  another  class  called  Donates — youths  destined  at 
the  proper  age  for  the  service  of  the  Order,  or  who,  from  admiration, 
bound  themselves  to  aid  and  assist  the  Knights,  and  desiring  to  share 
their  honors.  Over  all  presided  the  Grand  Master,  who  was  in  the 
earry  days  of  the  Order  simply  Master  of  the  Temple.  In  1178,  at 
the  treaty  of  peace  between  the  Templars  and  the  Hospitalers,  Odo 
de  St.  Arinand  called  himself  "  Humble  Master  of  the  Order  of  the 


»0  THE    DAYS   OF   KNIGHTHOOD. 

Temple."  This  humble  spirit  later  seemed  to  be  laid  aside,  and  the 
title  of  Grand  Master  was  accorded  and  accepted  ;  for  in  the  best 
days  of  the  Order  the  Grand  Master  was  considered  as  the  equal  of  a 
sovereign. 

The  Grand  Master  resided  at  Jerusalem,  and  after  the  destruction 
of  the  city  at  Acre,  and  finally  at  Cyprus.  His  duty  compelled  him 
to  reside  in  the  Holy  Land.  He  was  elected  for  life  from  among  the 
Knights.  At  the  death  of  a  Grand  Master  a  Grand  Prior  was  chosen 
to  administer  affairs  until  a  successor  was  elected.  On  a  day  appoint- 
ed for  the  election  three  or  four  of  the  most  esteemed  Knights  were 
proposed.  The  Grand  Prior  collected  all  the  votes,  and  he  who  had 
tke  greatest  number  was  declared  the  electing  Prior.  Another  Knight 
was  then  called  to  assist  him,  and  the  two  spent  an  entire  night  in  the 
chapel  engaged  in  prayer.  In  the  morning  they  chose  two  others,  and 
these  four  two  more,  and  so  on  until  twelve  (the  number  of  the  apos- 
tles) had  been  selected.  The  twelve  elected  a  Chaplain,  and  the  thir- 
teen then  proceeded  to  vote  for  a  Grand  Master,  the  Knight  receiving 
a  majority  of  the  thirteen  votes  being  declared  duly  elected. 

The  vote  was  announced  at  the  close  of  the  election,  whereupon  the 
assembled  brethren  promised  obedience,  and  the  Chaplain  said  to  the 
new  Master,  "In  the  name  of  God  the  Father,  the  Son  and  the  Ho'y 
Ghost,  we  have  chosen,  and  do  choose  thee,  brother  A.,  to  be  our  Mas- 
ter." Then  turning  to  the  brethren  he  said,  "  Beloved  Sirs  and 
Brethren,  give  thanks  unto  God  ;  behold  here  our  Master."  The 
Chaplains  chanted  the  Te  D^um,  and  the  -new  Master  was  taken  in 
the  arms  of  the  brethren,  carried  into  the  chapel  and  placed  before  the 
altar,  where,  kneeling,  he  continued  for  a  time  in  prayer,  and  the 
Chaplains  repeated  their  devotional  exercises. 

Next  in  rank  to  the  Grand  Master  came  the  Seneschal,  or  Lieuten- 
ant ;  then  followed  the  Marshal,  or  General,  the  Treasurer,  who  was 
called  also  the  Grand  Preceptor  of  Jerusalem,  the  Draper,  who  had 
charge  of  the  clothing,  and  was  a  kind  of  Commissary  General,  and 
the  Turcopolier,  or  Commander  of  the  light  horse.  There  was  a 
class  of  officers  next  called  Visitors,  whose  duty  was  to  visit  the  dif- 


TIIK   DAYS    OF   KNIGHTHOOD.  51 

ferent  provinces  and  correct  abuses,  if  found.  There  were  also  sub- 
ordinate officers  to  the  Serving  Brethren,  such  as  Standard  Bearer, 
Sub-Marshal  and  Farrier.  These  officers,  with  the  Grand  Preceptors 
of  the  Provinces,  and  the  most  distinguished  Knights  in  attendance, 
constituted  the  great  legislative  corps,  or  General  Chapter,  who  framed 
all  laws  and  regulations  for  the  Order.  The  body  met  but  seldom, 
and  during  the  intervals  of  its  sessions  its  business  was  transacted 
and  its  powers  exercised  by  the  Chapter  of  Jerusalem. 

The  Order  being  thoroughly  organized  and  in  prosperous  condition, 
augmented  its  possessions  both  at  the  East  and  in  Europe,  when  it 
was  divided  into  Provinces,  each  of  which  was  governed  by  a  Grand 
Preceptor  or  Grand  Prior — the  titles  being  both  used — though  the 
former  related  more  especially  to  the  Templars,  while  the  latter  ap- 
plied more  particularly  to  the  Knights  Hospitalers  of  St.  John. 

There  were  fifteen  provinces,  as  follows  :  Jerusalem,  Tripolis,  An- 
tioch,  Cyprus,  Portugal,  Castile  and  Leon,  Aragou,  France  and  Au- 
vergne,  Normandy,  Aquitaine,  Provence,  England,  (which  included 
Ireland  and  Scotland),  Germany,  Upper  and  Central  Italy,  and  Apu- 
lia and  Sicily.  There  were  only  the  kingdoms  of  Sweden,  Denmark, 
and  Norway  :n  Europe  to  whix;h  Templars -had  not  extended  their 
influence  and  possessions. 

In  each  of  these  Provinces  there  were  located  temples  called  Pre- 
ceptories,  in  charge  of  Preceptors.  In  the  larger  and  more  influential 
ones,  there  were  Chapters,  in  which  local  laws^were  enacted  and  mem- 
bers were  received  into  the  Order. 

Various  ancient  authors  differ  somewhat  as  to  the  reception  of  can- 
didates for  knighthood — some  averring  that  the  ceremonies  were  of  a 
secret  character,  while  others  proclaim  that  everything  was  public  in 
its  nature.  There  can  be  no  doubt  that,  in  many  instances,  initiations 
were  performed  with  closed  doors,  the  cause  of  which  may  be  attribu- 
ted to  the  spirit  of  hostility  exhibited  by  a  portion  of  the  church  in 
latter  days.  Eaynonard  says  the  following  oath  was  taken  by  the 
candidate : 

"  I  swear  to  consecrate  my  discourse,  my  arms,  my  faculties,  and 


THE    DAYS    OF    KNIGHTHOOD. 


my  life  to  the  defence  of  the  sac  d  mysteries  of  the  faith,  and  to  that 
of  the  unity  of  God.  I  also  promise  to  be  submissive  and  obedient 
to  the  Grand  Master  of  the  Order.  At  all  times  that  it  may  be  neces- 
sary I  will  cross  the  seas  to  go  to  battle  ;  I  will  contribute  succor 
against  infidel  Kings  and  Princes  ;  I  will  not  turn  my  back  upon 
three  foes,  and  even  if  I  be  alone  I  will  fight  them  if  they  are  infi- 
dels." 

The  Knights,  engaged  in  constant  wars  with  the  infidels,  continued 
to  increase  their  reputation  and  enlarge  their  possessions.  But  in  the 
beginning  of  the  fourteenth  century  the  avarice  of  Philip  le  Bel  and 
the  weakness  and  perfidy  of  Clement  V.,  conspired  to  give  a  blow  to 
the  Order  from  which  it  never  recovered. 

From  the  time  of  Hugh  de  Payens  to  that  of  Jacques  de  Molay, 
the  Templars  continued  to  be  governed  by  a  succession  of  the  noblest 
and  bravest  Knights  of  which  the  chivalry  of  Christendom  could 
boast.  They  continued  to  increase  in  power,  in  fame  and  in  wealth, 
and,  what  is  unfortunately  too  often  the  concomitants  of  these  quali- 
ties, in  luxury  and  pride. 

At  the  time  referred  to  the  throne  of  France  was  filled  by  Philip 
the  Fair,  an  ambitious,  a  vindictive  and  an  avaricious  Prince.  In  his 
celebrated  controversy  with  Pope  Boniface,  the  "Templars  had,  as 
usual  with  them,  sided  with  the  Pontiff  and  opposed  the  King.  This 
act  incited  his  hatred.  The  Order  was  enormously  wealthy  ;  this 
aroused  his  avarice.  T^heir  power  interfered  with  his  designs  of  polit- 
ical aggrandizement,  and  this  alarmed  his  ambition.  He  therefore 
secretly  concerted  with  Pope  Clement  Y.  a  plan  for  their  destruction, 
and  the  appropriation  of  their  revenues.  Clement,  by  his  direction, 
in  June,  13C6,  wrote  to  DeMolay,  then  Grand  Master,  at  that  time  at 
Cyprus,  inviting  him  to  come  and  consult  as  to  matters  of  great  im- 
portance to  the  Order.  DeMolay  obeyed  the  summons,  and  arrived 
in  the  beginning  of  1307  at  Paris,  with  sixty  Knights  and  a  large 
amount  of  treasure.  He  was  immediately  imprisoned,  and  on  the 
13th  of  October  following  every  Knight  in  France  was,  in  consequence 
of  the  secret  orders  of  the  King,  arrested  on  the  pretended  charge  of

idolatry,  with  other  enormous  crimes,  which  a  renegade  and  expelled 
Prior  of  the  Order  was  said  to  have  confessed  that  the  Knights  were 
guilty  of  in  their  secret  Chapters.  On  the  12th  of  May,  1310,  fifty- 
four  of  the  Knights  were,  after  a  mock  trial,  publicly  burnt,  and  on 
the  18th  of  March,  1314.  DeMolay,  Grand  Master,  with  the  three 
principal  dignitaries  of  the  Order,  suffered  the  same  fate.  They  died 
faithfully  asserting  their  innocence  of  all  the  crimes  imputed  to  them. 
The  Order  was  now,  by  the  energy  of  the  King  of  France,  assisted  by 
the  spiritual  authority  of  the  Pope,  suppressed  throughout  Europe. 
It  was  not,  however,  annihilated.  DeMolay,  in  anticipation  of  his 
fate,  had  appointed  John  Mark  Larmienus  as  his  successor  in  office, 
and  from  that  time  to  the  present  there  has  been  a  regular  and  unin- 
terrupted succession  of  Grand  Masters. 

Notwithstanding,  therefore,  the  efforts  of  the  King  and  the  Pope, 
the  Order  of  Knights  Templar  was  not  extinguished.  In  France  it 
still  exists,  and  ranks  among  its  members  some  of  the  most  influen- 
tial noblemen  of  that  kingdom.  In  Portugal  the  name  of  the  Order 
has  been  changed  to  that  of  the  "  Knights  of  Christ,"  and  its  cross 
is  frequently  conferred  by  the  Government  as  the  reward  of  distin- 
guished merit.  In  England,  the  Encampment  of  Baldwyn,  which  was 
established  at  Bristol  by  the  Templars  who  returned  with  Richard  I. 
from  Palestine,  still  continues  to  hold  its  regular  meetings,  and  is  be- 
lieved co  have  preserved  the  ancient  costumes  and  ceremonies  of  the 
Order.  This  Encampment,  with  another  at  Bath,  and  a  third  at  York, 
constituted  the  three  original  Encampments  of  England.  From  these 
have  emanated  the  existing  Encampments  in  the  British  Islands  and 
in  the  United  States,  so  that  the  Order,  as  it  now  exists  in  Great  Brit- 
ain and  America,  is  a  lineal  descendant  of  the  Ancient  and  Illustrious 
Order. 

Of  the  history  of  the  Order  in  America,  the  proceedings  of  the 
Grand  Encampment  of  the  United  States,  which  was  formed  in  the 
year  1816,  gives  all  that  is  known  to  the  world.  It  being  of  such  recent 
date,  and  no  occasion  arising  to  bring  the  Order  into  notoriety,  having 

with  the  advance  of  the  world  denuded  itself  of  its  warlike  character

it  has  become,  with  the  propagation  of  the  Christian  religion,  what 
it  now*is. 

The  connection  between  the  Knights  Templar  and  Freemasons  has 
been  repeatedly  asserted  by  the  enemies  of  both  institutions,  a*nd  as 
often  admitted  by  their  friends.  Lanrie,  on  this  subject,  holds  the 
following  language  : 

""We  know  that  the  Knight  Templars  not  only  possessed  the  mys- 
teries, but  performed  the  ceremonies  and  inculcated  the  duties  of  Free- 
masons ;"  and  he  attributes  the  dissolution  of  the  Order  to  the  discov- 
ery of  their  being  Freemasons,  and  their  assembling  in  secret  to  prac- 
tice the  rites  of  the  Order.  He  further  endeavors  to  explain  the 
manner  in  which  they  became  the  depository  of  the  Masonic  mysteries, 
by  tracing  their  initiation  to  the  Druses,  a  Syriac  fraternity,  which,  at 
the  time  of  the  Crusaders,  and  long  after,  existed  on  Mt.  Libanus. 

Hospitality  has  been,  from  time  immemorial,  esteemed  among  Ma- 
sons as  one  of  the  chief  virtues.  Brethren  throughout  the  globe 
never  disregarded  a  diploma  or  certificate  bearing  the  words,  "Every 
Mason  shall  receive  and  cherish  strange  fellowes  when  they  come  over 
the  countreye."  The  Knights  of  the  eleventh  century  established 
hospitals  for  the  sick  and  weary  pilgrims,  and  assumed  the  name  of 
Hospitalers  of  Jerusalem.  In  their  laudable  and  kindly  efforts  to 
provide  for  the  poor,  and  ameliorate  the  sufferings  of  the  weak,  they 
were  heartily  seconded  by  the  rich  merchants  of  Amain" — a  thriving 
city  of  the  Kingdom  of  Naples.  Chapels  and  hospitals  were  built  at 
various  points,  and  many  of  the  pilgrims  who  had  experienced  the 
liberality  and  bounty  which  was  always  bestowed  upon  wayfarers, 
abandoned  the  idea  of  returning  to  Europe,  and  formed  themselves 
into  bands  of  charitable  assistants,  and  devoted  themselves  to  the  care 
of  the  needy  and  destitute.  The  Hospitalers  of  Jerusalem  finally 
took  up  arms  in  defence  of  the  holy  places  against  the  Saracens,  and 
called  themselves  Knights  Hospitalers,  which  was  subsequently 
changed  to  Knights  of  Rhodes,  and  then  to  Knights  of  Malta. 

The  highest  compliment,  perhaps,  ever  paid  to  the  Order  of  Knights 
Templar,  was  by  St.  Bernard,  when  he  said,  after  visiting  them  in 


Til?:    DAYS    OF    KNICJHTHOOD.  00 

their  temple,  '•  Their  arms  are  their  only  finer/,  and  they  use  them 
with  courage,  without  dreading  either  the  number  or  the  strength  of 
the  barbarians.  All  their  confidence  is  in  the  Lord  of  Hosts,  and  in 
fighting  for  His  cause  they  seek  a  sure  victory  or  a  Christian  and  hon- 
orable death."  He  spoke  in  the  warmest  terms  of  their  self  denial, 
their  modesty,  their  piety,  their  frugality  and  their  bravery. 

"  Dying  in  harness,"  or  "  clothed  in  steel,"  was  a  favorite  phrase 
in  chivalric  annals,  to  illustrate  the  bravery  of  a  Knight  falling  in 
battle.  Hume  says  of  Sevvard,  Earl  of  'Northumberland,  that  when 
the  death  of  Osborne,  his  son,  was  announced  to  him,  he  was  inconso 
lable  until  he  was  informed  that  his  death  wound  was  in  his  breast, 
and  that  he  had  behaved  with  great  gallantry  during  the  action  ;  so, 
when  he  found  his  own  death  approaching,  he  ordered  his  servants  to 
dress  him  in  a  complete  suit  of  armor,  and  sitting  erect  on  his  couch 
he  awaited  the  final  summons,  with  spear  in  hand,  declaring  that  only 
thus  should  a  true  warrior  die.  And  thus  he  sat  at  the  final  moment. 
An  ancient  poem  thus  portrays  the  event  : 

See  how  the  chief  of  many  a  field 

Prepares  to  give  his  latest  breath  ; 
And  like  a  well-trained  warrior  yield 

Becomingly  to  impending  death. 
That  one  stern  conqueror  of  all, 

Of  chieftain  in  embattled  tower, 
Of  lord  within  his  ancient  hall, 

And  maiden  in  her  trellis'd  bower. 

To  meet  that  surest  of  all  foes, 

From  off  his  soft  and  pillowed  bed, 
With  dignity  old  Seward  rose, 

And  to  a  couch  of  state  was  led. 
Fainting,  yet  firm  of  purpose  there, 

Stately  as  monarch  on  his  throne, 
Upright  he  sat,  with  k  ngly  ail, 

To  meet  the  coming  foe — alone. 

"  Take  from  these  limbs,"  he  weakly  cried, 

"  This  soft  and  womanish  attire  ; 
Let  cloak  and  cap  be  laid  aside — 

Seward  will  die  as  did  his  sire  ; 
Not  clad  in  silken  vest  and  shirt, 

Like  princes  in  a  fairy  tale  ; 


56  THE   DAYS    OF   KNIGHTHOOD. 


With  iron  be  these  old  limbs  girt, 
My  vest  of  steel,  my  shirt  of  mail. 

"  Close  let  my  sheaf  of  arrows  stand  ; 

My  mighty  battle-axe  now  bring  ; 
My  ashen  spear  place  in  my  hand  ; 

Around  my  neck  my  buckler  sling. 
Let  my  white  locks  once  more  be  press'd 

By  the  old  cap  of  Milan  steel; 
Such  soldier's  gear  becomes  them  best — 

They  love  their  old  defence  to  feei. 

"  'Tis  well  !     Now  buckle  to  my  waist 

My  well-tried  gleaming  blade  of  Spain  ; 
My  old  blood  leaps  in  joyful  haste, 

To  feel  it  on  my  thigh  again. 
And  here,  this  pendent  loop  upon, 

Suspend  my  father's  dagger  bright  ; 
My  spurs  of  gold,  too,  buckle  on, 

OrSeward  dies  not  like  a  Knight." 

'Twas  done  !     No  tear  bedimmed  his  eyes, 

His  manly  heart  had  ne'er  known  fear  ; 
It  answer'd  not  the  deep-fetched  sighs 

Of  friends  and  comrades  standing  near. 
Death  was  upon  him  ;  that  grim  foe 

Who  smites  the  craven  as  the  brave  ; 
With  patience  Seward  met  the  blow, 

Prepared  and  willing  for  the  grave. 


THE  GRAND  ENCAMPMENT 

OF    TIIK 

UNITED   STATES. 

The  General  Grand  Encampment  of  Knights  Templar  of  the  United 
States  of  America  was  formed  at  a  Convention  held  at  Mason's 
Hall,  in  the  city  of  New  York,  on  the  20th  and  21st  of  Jnne,  1816, 
and  consisted  of  delegates,  or  Sir  Knights  Companions,  from  eight 
(as  then  called)  Councils  and  Encampments  of  Knights  Templar  and 
appendant  Orders,  viz  : 

Boston  Encampment,  chartered  March,  1806,  Boston,  Mass. 
St.  Paul's  Encampment,  chartered  May,  1806,   Newburyport,  Mass. 
St.  John's  Encampment,  chartered  October,  1805,  Providence,  R.  I. 
Newport  Encampment,  chartered  June,  1814,  Newport,  R.  I. 
Ancient  Encampment,  chartered  June,  1814,  New  York   City. 
Temple  Encampment,  chartered  June,  1814,  Albany,  N.  Y. 
Montgomery  Encampment,  chartered  Tune,  1814,  Stillwater,  N.  Y. 
Darius  Council,  of  Portland,  Me. 

There  were  six  other  Encampments  in  the  United  States: 

Rising  Sun,  with  Charter  dated  May,  1814,  at  New  York. 
Pittsburg,  with  Charter  dated  May,  1814,  at  Pittsburg,  Pa. 
Maryland,  with  Charter  dated  May,  1814,  at  Baltimore,  Md. 
Washington,  with  Charter  dated  May,  1814,  at  Washington,  D.  C. 
Philadelphia,  with  Charter  dated  March,  1814,  at  Philadelphia,  Pa. 
Indivisible  Friends,  with  Charter  dated  May,  1814,  at  New  Orleans,  La 

Six  only  of  these  fourteen  have  had  a  continuous  existence  since 
their  organization,  viz  : 

St   John's,   at    Providence;  Boston,    at   Boston;    Maryland,    at    Baltimore;    Rising

58  GRAND    ENCAMPMENTS. 


Sun,  (now  Columbia,)  at  New  York;  Temple,  at    Albany,  and    Indivisible  Friends,  at 
New  Orleans. 

Evidently  some  of  these  Encampments  had  been  at  work  several 
years  as  voluntary  associations,  without  regular  charters,  or  under  the 
pretended  authority  of  the  charter  of  a  Lodge  of  Ancient  Craft  Ma- 
sonry ;  for  we  find  in  Creigh's  History  that  of  the  members  of  Phila- 
delphia Encampment  No.  1,  one  had  been  knighted  in  February,  1794, 
another  in  July,  1794,  another  in  1795,  another  in  1796,  three  in  1800, 
on'e  in  1806,  and  three  in  1810.  It  could  not,  then,  have  been  until 
1810  that  there  could  have  been  any  regularly  organized  body  of 
Knights  Templar  in  Pennsylvania  ,  nor  until  the  27th  day  of  Decem- 
ber, 1812,  when  the  Sir  Knights  belonging  to  the  Lodges  united  into 
an  association  by  the  name  of  Encampment  No.  1,  at  Philadelphia, 
without  charter  from  any  superior  source  whatever.  It  was  this  or- 
ganization that  devised  the  "  Pennsylvania  Grand  Encampment  of 
Knights  Templar  with  the  jurisdiction  thereunto  belonging." 

There  is  no  way  at  hand  for  determining  the  number  of  Knights 
subordinate  to  the  Grand  Commandery  which  was  established  on  the 
22d  of  June,  1816,  although  the  number  enumerated  was  238.  But 
it  could  not  much  have  exceeded  three  hundred.  From  this  small  be- 
ginning in  America  has  sprung,  after  passing  through  years  of 
gloom  and  persecution,  the  now  goodly  array  of  one  hundred  thousand 
Sir  Knights,  who  bow  allegiance  to  the  Grand  Encampment  of  the 
United  States.  This  increase,  as  of  old,  brings  us  back  to  the  days  of 
the  Crusades,  when  nine  Sir  Knights  in  Palestine  banded  themselves 
together  ;  and  although  the  old  religious  war  is  not  paramount,  still 
that  zeal  and  knightly  courtesy  which  was  pre-eminent  in  those  days 
yet  dwells  in  the  hearts  of  the  Companion  Sir  Knights  of  this  decade. 

At  this  first  Convention,  after  the  adoption  of  a  Constitution,  which 
was  substantially  the  same  as  the  one  under  which  the  General  Grand 
Encampment  acted  up  to  1844,  and  the  election  and  installation  of  the 
following  list  of  officers  : 

M.  E.  the  Hon.  DeWitt  Clinton,  of  New  York  Grand  Master. 
R.  E.  Thomas  Smith  Webb,  of  Boston,  Deputy  Grand  Master. 
V.  E.  Henry  Fowle,  of  Boston,  Grand  Generalissimo. 
V.  E.  Ezra  Ames,  of  Albany,  Grand  Captain  General. 


GEAND   ENCAMPMENTS.  59 


V.  E.  Rev.  Paul  Dean,  of  Boston,  Grand  Prelate. 

V.  E.  Martin  Hoffman,  of  New  York,  Grand  Senior  Warden. 

V.  E.  John  Carlisle,  of  Providence,  Grand  Junior  Warden. 

V.  E.  Peter  Grinnell,  of  Providence,  Grand  Treasurer. 

V.  E.  John  I.  Loring,  of  Boston,  Grand  Recorder. 

V.  E.  Thomas  Loundes,  of  New  York,  Grand  Warder. 

V.  E.  John  Snow,  of  Providence,  Grand  Standard  Bearer. 

V.  E.  Jonathan  Schieffelin,  of  New  York,  Grand  Sword  Bearer. 

who  were  to  continue  in  office  until  the  third  Thursday  in  September, 
1819,  they  adjourned  to  meet  at  that  time,  in  the  city  of  New  York. 

The  Second  meeting  of  the  General  Grand  Encampment  of  Knights 
Templar  was  convened  pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  their  Constitution 
at  Mason's  Hall  in  the  city  of  New  York,  on  the  16th  day  of  Septem- 
ber, 1819,  at  which  was  announced  the  4eath  of  the  R.  E.  Thomas 
Smith  "Webb,  Deputy  Grand  Master.  Nothing  further  of  note  oc- 
curred, and  after  the  election  of  officers,  (no  changes  being  made,  ex- 
cept the  Eminent  Sir  Henry  Fowle,  was  advanced  to  the  vacancy 
caused  by  the  death  of  our  late  lamented  Companion  Sir  Knight 
"Webb,  and  Eminent  Sir  Knight  John  Snow,  who  had  in  the  interim 
moved  to  Ohio,  and  organized  an  Encampment  at  "Worthington,  was 
promoted  to  Grand  Generalissimo,)  the  Encampment  adjourned. 

The  third  meeting  was  holden  at  St.  John's  Hall,  in  the  city  of  New 
York,  on  the  18th  day  of  September,  1826,  at  which  were  represented 
the  Grand  Encampments  of  the  States  of  New  York,  Massachusetts, 
Rhode  Island,  New  Hampshire,  Vermont,  Virginia  and  North  Caro- 
lina. After  granting  charters  to  various  Encampments  throughout 
the  country,  the  election  and  installation  of  officers,  with  the  necessary 
routine  business  incident  to  the  gathering,  nothing  of  interest  having 
transpired,  they  adjourned  until  the  14th  of  September,  1829. 

The  fourth  meeting  was  held  at  the  same  place,  at  the  time  specified, 
when  the  death  of  M.  E.  Grand  Master  Sir  DeWitt  Clinton  was  an- 
nounced. Representatives  were  present  from  the  Grand  Encamp- 
ments of  New  York,  New  Hampshire,  Vermont,  Massachusetts, 
Rhode  Island  and  South  Carolina.  Also  from  Mt.  Vernon  Encamp- 
ment, of  Ohio,  and  "Washington,  No.  1,  Washington,  D.  C.  Sir  Jona- 
than Ney,  of  New  Hampshire,  was  elected  Grand  Master,  Sir  Ezra  S. 


60  GENERAL    GRAND    ENCAMPMENT. 

Cozier,  of  Utica,  Deputy  Grand  Master,  Sir  Josiah  "Wliittaker,  of 
Providence,  Grand  Generalissimo,  Sir  James  Eyland,  of  Charleston, 
Grand  Captain  General. 

The  fifth  meeting  of  the  General  Grand  Encampment  was  held  in 
the  city  of  Baltimore,  Maryland,  on  the  29th  day  of  November,  1832, 
but  owing  to  the  then  unsettled  state  of  the  Order,  nothing  of  interest 
transpired.  M.  E.  Sir  Jonathan  Nye  was  re-elected  Grand  Master. 

At  the  sixth  meeting,  held  in  the  city  of  "Washington,  D.  C.,  M.  E. 
Sir  James  M.  Allen,  of  New  York,  was  elected  Grand  Master,  and 
Charles  Gilman,  of  Baltimore,  Grand  Recorder.  At  the  Triennial 
held  at  Boston,  Mass.,  in  1838,  were  represented  the  Grand  Encamp- 
ments of  New  Hampshire,  Massachusetts,  Rhode  Island,  Connecticut 
and  New  York.  Also  No.  1,  of  Baltimore.  The  former  officers  were 
re-elected. 

Templar  Masonry  had  for  a  long  time  been  at  a  low  ebb,  and  but 
little  interest  was  being  manifested,  except  in  some  of  its  most  staunch 
supporters.  September  14th,  1841,  at  the  Triennial  held  in  the  Chap- 
ter room  of  Apollo,  in  the  city  of  New  York,  renewed  vigor  was 
imparted  into  the  Order,  and  the  general  reports  gave  a  very  favorable 
showing  from  all  parts  of  the  jurisdiction.  The  same  officers  were 
re-elected  and  installed. 

The  next  Triennial  was  held  at  New  Haven,  Conn.,  September  10th, 
1844,  when  the  Constitution  was  revised,  and  more  stringent  regula- 
tions were  adopted  for  the  government  of  subordinate  bodies.  Sir 
Archibald  Bull,  of  Troy,  N.  Y.,  was  elected  Grand  Master,  and 
Charles  Gilman  Grand  Recorder. 

At  the  tenth  meeting,  at  Columbus,  Ohio,  September  14th,  1847, 
M.  E.  Sir  William  B.  Hubbard  was  elected  Grand  Master,  and  Charles 
Gilman  re-elected  Grand  Recorder.  There  were  now  on  the  register 
of  the  General  Grand  Encampment  five  State  Grand  Encampments, 
viz  :  Massachusetts,  Rhode  Island,  New  York,  Connecticut  and  Ohio, 
with  nineteen  subordinate  Encampments  scattered  through  the  various 
States,  among  which  were  Apollo,  No.  1,  Chicago,  and  St.  Louis, 
No.  1,  St.  Louis. 


GENERAL  GKAND  ENCAMPMENT.  61 

The  next  meeting,  at  Boston,  September  10th,  1850,  was  without 
much  interest,  and  the  work  was  the  usual  routine.  M.  E.  Sir  W.  B. 
Kubbard  was  re-elected  Grand  Master,  and  V.  E.  Sir  B.  B.  French,  of 
the  District  of  Columbia,  Grand  Recorder.  The  registry  now  con- 
tained the  Grand  Commandery  of  Kentucky,  and  eight  additional 
subordinate  Commanderies.  Some  material  amendments  were  made 
to  the  Constitution. 

The  twelfth  Triennial,  at  Lexington,  Kentucky,  September  13th, 
1853,  was  without  special  interest.  The  officers,  with  but  slight 
changes,  were  re-elected,  and  the  Grand  Encampments  of  Maine,  Ver- 
mont and  Virginia  were  added  to  the  register. 

At  the  Triennial  at  Hartford.  Conn.,  September  9th,  1856,  it  was 
ordered,  "  That  the  word  '  Encampment '  or  '  Encampments,'  wherev- 
er they  are  applied  to  State  or  subordinate  bodies,  in  the  Constitution, 
be  stricken  out,  and  '  Commandery '  or  '  Commanderies '  be  inserted. 
The  Grand  Recorder,  in  his  report  at  this  meeting,  said  : 

"  One  is  forcibly  struck,  in  perusing  the  old  records,  with  the  steady 
progress  of  Knight  Templarism  from  1816  to  the  present  time.  It  is 
true,  that  between  1826  and  1832  the  Orders  of  Knighthood  remained 
nearly  stationary.  From  the  crude  manner  in  which  the  earlier  rec- 
ords were  kept,  it  is  impossible  to  ascertain  the  exact  number  of  the 
subordinate  Encampments.  In  1829  five  Grand  Encampments  and 
three  subordinates  were  represented  in  the  General  Grand  Encamp- 
ment, and  the  records  show  the  existence  of  several  more  not  repre- 
sented. From  that  time  the  increase  has  been  steady,  and  the  Order 
in  the  United  States  promises,  ere  long,  to  stand  the  foremost  in  the 
chivalry  of  the  world." 

This  comparison,  made  by  Sir  Knight  the  Grand  Recorder,  has 
been  more  than  realized.  In  this  year,  1856.,  there  were  eleven  Grand 
Commanderies  and  forty-two  subordinate  Commanderies  under  the 
jurisdiction.  The  officers  were  again  re-elected. 

The  fourteenth  Triennial,  which  assembled  at  Chicago  September 
13th,  1859,  was  the  largest  gathering  of  the  Order  which  had  then 
been  held,  and  the  Grand  Commanderies  of  California,  Connecticut,

Indiana,  Illinois,  Kentucky,  Maine,  Massachusetts,  Rhode  Island, 
Michigan,  Mississippi,  New  York,  Ohio,  Pennsylvania,  Texas,  Ver- 
mont and  Virginia,  also  seventeen  subordinate  Coinmanderies,  were 
represented.  The  Order  having  assumed  such  proportions,  considera- 
ble legislation  became  necessary  to  revise  the  Constitution,  adopt  a 
costume,  etc.,  and  the  session  was  protracted,  covering  a  full  week  in 
its  deliberations.  M.  E.  Sir  B.  B.  French,  of  Washington,  D.  C.,  was 
elected  Grand  Master,  R.  E.  David  Short  Goodloe,  of  Lexington,  Ivy., 
Deputy  Grand  Master,  V.  E.  "Winslow  Lewis,  of  Boston,  Grand  Gen- 
eralissimo, V.  E.  Sir  James  V.  Z.  Blaney,  of  Chicago,  Grand  Captain 
General,  and  V.  E.  Sir  Samuel  G.  Risk,  of  New  Orleans,  Grand  Re- 
corder. 

December  9th,  1857,  at  a  Special  Communication  of  the  Grand 
Commandery  of  Ohio,  the  resolution  dissolving  their  connection  with 
the  General  Grand  Body,  which  had  been  adopted  at  their  annual  meet- 
ing in  October  previous,  was  repealed.  This  was  a  matter  of  general 
rejoicing.  The  Grand  Commandery  of  Tennessee  came  in  at  the  close 
of  this  meeting,  and  after  seven  days  of  harmonious  session,  the  body 
adjourned  to  meet  at  Memphis,  Tenn.,  September  3d,  1862.  Among 
the  notable  events  of  this  session  was  the  banquet  tendered  by  the  Sir 
Knights  of  Apollo,  No.  1,  Chicago,  to  their  distinguished  fraters  from 
abroad,  and  given  at  the  Tremont  House  Friday  evening,  September 
16th.  It  were  well  to  note  those  who  sat  around  that  board.  There 

were 

Kellogg  and  Marsh,  of  California. 

Smith  and  Clark,  of  Connecticut. 

Porter,  Fribarger,  Austin  and  Hacker,  of  Indiana. 

Gano,  Orr  and  Rob  Morris,  of  Kentucky.

It  brought  forth  some  of  the  most  brilliant,  chivalric  speeches  ever 
listened  to  by  any  body  of  men,  and  from  the  giants  of  the  Order, 
served  in  many  a  dark  day  following  to  bind  them  closer  together. 

They  were  not  destined  to  reunite  at  Memphis  in  1862,  for  owing  to 
the  exigencies  of  the  war  a  special  meeting  was  convened  at  New 
York  city  on  Monday,  September  1st,  1862,  in  pursuance  of  a  call  by 
the  Grand  Master,  stating  that,  for  reasons  apparent  to  all,  it  was  be- 
lieved to  be  impossible  to  meet  at  Memphis,  and  as-  he  had  no  power 
to  change  the  place  of  meeting  selected,  he  had  called  this  special  to 
legislate  accordingly.  The  Grand  Comnianderies  of  Connecticut, 
Maine,  Indiana,  Illinois,  Massachusetts,  Rhode  Island,  Michigan,  New 
York,  Ohio,  Pennsylvania,  Vermont,  Kentucky  and  New  Jersey,  with 
Maryland,  No.  1,  Washington  No.  1,  and  Indivisible  Friends,  No.  1, 
of  New  Orleans,  were  represented,  and  passed  a  resolution  rescinding 
the  former  one,  and  calling  the  Triennial  to  be  held  on  the  following 
day  in  the  city  of  New  York. 

At  this  session,  objections  having  been  advanced  to  the  costume 
adopted  at  the  last  Conclave,  owing  to  want  of  adaptation  to  the  re- 
quirements of  our  modern  Templars,  its  liability  to  injury,  as  also  its 
expensiveness,  a  new  uniform  was  proposed  (that  in  present  use)  and 
adopted.  It  consisted  of 

FULL  DRESS. — Black  frock  coat,  black  pantaloons,  scarf  or  baldrick, 
sword,  belt,  gauntlets  and  chapeau,  with  their  appropriate  trimmings. 

FATIGUE  DRESS. — Same   as  full  dress,  except  for  chapeau,  a  black 


64  GENERAL   GRAND   ENCAMPMENT. 

cloth  cap,  navy  form,  with  appropriate  cross  in  front,  and  for  gauntlets 
white  gloves.  The  Sir  Knights  to  wear  white  metal  wherever  metal 
appears.  Commanders,  Past  Commanders  and  Grand  officers  to  wear 
yellow.  Commanders,  Generalissimos  and  Captain  Generals  to  wear 
shoulder  straps. 

THE  GEAND  STANDARD  to  be  of  white  woolen  or  silk  stuff,  six  feet 
high,  five  feet  in  width,  made  tripartite  at  the  bottom,  fastened  at  the 
top  to  a  cross-bar  by  nine  rings.  In  the  center  of  the  field  a  blood-red 
passion  cross,  over  which  the  motto,  "  In  hoc  signo  vinces,"  and  un- 
der, "  Non  nobis,  Doming,  non  nobis,  sed  Noinini  tuo  da  Gloriam." 

BEAUSEANT. — Of  woolen  or  silk  stuff,  same  form  and  dimensions  of 
Grand  Standard,  and  suspended  in  same  manner.  The  upper  half  of 
this  standard  to  be  black,  the  lower  half  white. 

M.  E.  Sir  B.  B.  French  was  re-elected  Grand  Master,  and  Sir  John 
D.  Caldwell  Grand  Recorder.  The  session  was  short  and  unimportant, 
and  when  they  adjourned  it  was  to  meet  at  Columbus,  Ohio,  on  the 
first  Tuesday  of  September,  1865. 

At  the  sixteenth  Triennial,  September  5,  1865,  at  Columbus,  Cali- 
fornia, Connecticut,  Illinois,  Indiana,  Iowa,  Kentucky,  Louisiana, 
Maine,  Massachusetts,  Khode  Island,  Michigan,  Missouri,  New  Jersey, 
New  York,  Ohio,  Pennsylvania,  Tennessee  and  Wisconsin,  with  sub- 
ordinate Commanderies  from  Arkansas,  District  of  Columbia,  Mary- 
land and  Minnesota  were  represented.  The  present  Templar  drill  was 
adopted,  and  the  costume  modified  in  some  slight  particulars,  but  no 
business  of  note  was  transacted.  M.  E.  Sir  II.  L.  Palmer^  of  Milwau- 
kee was  elected  Grand  Master,  R.  E.  Sir  ~W.  S.  Gardner,  of  Massa- 
chusetts, Deputy  Grand  Master,  V.  E.  Sir  John  D.  Caldwell  Grand 
Recorder. 

The  seventeenth  Triennial  was  held  at  St.  Louis  September  15th, 
1868.  This  was  the  most  noted  of  all  the  meetings  up  to  this  time, 
from  the  very  large  attendance  of  Sir  Knights  from  all  parts  of  our 
now  common  country.  It  was  truly  a  grand  re-union,  not  only  from 
the  vast  numbers  present,  but  also  from  the  courteous,  knightly  hos- 
pitality shown  by  the  Companion  Sir  Knights,  and  also  the  entire  com-

munity  of  the  city  of  St.  Louis.  The  bounteous  cheer  and  cordial 
greeting  received  on  every  hand  has  made  it  a  memorable  epoch  in  the 
history  of  the  Order.  The  imposing  escort  of  Templars  to  the  Grand 
Encampment  far  surpassed  in  display  any  pi-evious  occasion,  and  pre- 
sented a  pageant  so  brilliant  that  it  is  only  those  who  participated  can 
realize,  even  at  this  day,  the  impetus  given  to  Chivalric  Templar  Ma- 
sonry by  this  gathering  of  the  hosts.  The  noble  Knights  once  more 
met  in  strong  fraternal  greeting  over  a  re-united  country.  Much  leg- 
islation of  an  important  nature  for  the  good  of  the  Order  was  trans- 
acted, all  of  which  is  of  such  a  recent  date  as  to  be  well  known  to  the 
members,  but  is  uninteresting  to  the  outside  world,  and  does  not  re- 
quire repetition.  The  address  of  M.  E.  Sir  Henry  L.  Palmer  was  a 
masterly  document.  M.  E.  Sir  William  Sewall  Gardner,  of  Massa- 
chusetts was  elected  Grand  Master,  and  V.  E.  Sir  John  D.  Caldwell, 
of  Ohio,  re-elected  Grand  Recorder. 

The  eighteenth  Triennial  convened  at  Baltimore  September  19th, 
1871.  The  Grand  Commanderies  of  Alabama,  California,  Connecticut, 
Georgia,  Illinois,  Indiana,  Iowa,  Kansas,  Kentucky,  Louisiana,  Maine, 
Maryland,  Massachusetts,  Rhode  Island,  Michigan,  Minnesota,  Mis- 
sissippi, Missouri,  New  Hampshire,  New  Jersey,  New  York,  Ohio, 
Pennsylvania,  Tennessee,  Texas,  Vermont,  Virginia  and  Wisconsin, 
were  represented  by  their  Grand  Officers,  and  subordinate  Comman- 
deries from  Arkansas,  Colorado,  Delaware,  District  of  Columbia,  Flor- 
ida, Montana,  Nebraska,  Nevada,  New  Mexico,  Oregon,  South  Caroli- 
na and  the  Sandwich  Islands.  The  very  able  report  of  the  Grand 
Master,  covering  as  it  did  a  vast  scope  of  territory,  was  of  great  inte- 
rest. Many  necessary  and  important  changes  were  made  in  the  Con- 
stitution and  By -Laws,  to  conform  to  the  rapidly  increasing  state  of 
the  Order.  Seventy-six  Commanderies,  forty-three  hundred  Sir 
Knights,  with  seven  hundred  musicians,  hailing  from  thirty  States 
and  territories,  participated  in  the  escort  to  the  Grand  Encampment, 
and  the  pageant  was  brilliant  in  the  extreme.  The  Parade  and  Review 
was  held  on  Thursday,  21st  of  September.  Apollo  Commandery,  No. 
1,  of  Chicago,  acting,  by  request,  as  the  Guard  of  Honor  to  the  Grand 


66  GENERAL  GRAND  ENCAMPMENT. 

Encampment  of  the  United  States.  The  various  Commanderies  hav- 
ing formed  in  twelve  divisions  on  the  east  and  west  sides  of  Broad- 
way, facing  inward,  the  Grand  Master  and  Grand  Officers,  with 
their  guard,  proceeded  by  Vass  &  Chaffee's  Light  Guard  Band, 
of  Chicago,  passed  down  between  the  lines,  the  Knights  presenting 
arms,  and  the  bands  (thirty  in  number)  playing  in  their  regular 
order  as  the  Grand  Officers  approached.  The  Grand  Master,  having 
taken  position  on  the  extreme  right,  the  divisions  wheeled  into  line, 
led  by  troops  of  mounted  Red  Cross  Knights,  with  prancing  steeds, 
gaily  caparisoned,  and  lances  at  a  poise  decorated  with  gay  ribbons. 
During  the  march  several  of  the  Commanderies  executed  many  bril- 
liant movements,  forming  in  triangles,  curves  and  double  crosses,  ex- 
citing the  admiration  of  the  assembled  thousands.  The  soldierly 
bearing  and  drill  of  the  different  Commanderies  was  very  marked,  and 
although  there  were  many  notable  ones,  a  comparison,  where  all  were 
so  perfect,  would  be  invidious.  The  Committee  appointed  to  award 
the  prize  (consisting  of  a  superb  libation  service)  offered  by  Baltimore 
Commandery,  No.  2,  after  careful  consideration,  arrived  at  the  conclu- 
sion that,  for  excellence  of  movement,  perfection  of  discipline,  and 
general  knightly  appearance,  Detroit  Commandery,  No.  1,  of  Detroit, 
Michigan,  bore  away  the  palm. 

The  entire  route  of  march  passed  over  was  one  dense  mass  of  human 
beings,  estimated  at  over  two  hundred  thousand  people,  who  witnessed 
the  gorgeous  array,  while  the  places  of  business  and  private  residences 
throughout  the  line  of  march  were  gaily  decorated.  Passing  the  shaft 
erected  in  honor  of  the  "Father  of  his  Country,"  in  memory  of  their 
beloved  brother,  the  Knights  gave  the  military  salute,  and  the  Grand 
Officers  uncovered  their  heads  and  bowed  in  reverence. 

Nature  was  propitious,  for  "  the  morning  dawned  bright  and  clear. 
The  twinkling  stars  that  shone  with  such  unwonted  brilliancy  the 
preceding  night  had  given  promise  of  a  day  radiant  with  mellow  sun- 
shine," which  was  fully  appreciated  by  the  gay  cavaliers  who  had 
journeyed  so  far  to  participate  in  the  glories  of  that  ever  memorable 
occasion.  Thousands  of  glad  hearts  thanked  God  that  day  for  the

bright  sunshine,  so  in  unison  with  all  the  brilliant  scenes  enacted  du- 
ring its  passing  hours,  and  which  will  ever  haunt  them  like  a  dream 
in  fairy  land. 

M.  E.  Sir  J.  Q.  A.  Fellows  was  elected  Grand  Master,  R.  E.  Sir 
James  Herron  Hopkins,  Deputy  Grand  Master,  V.  E.  Sir  Vincent 
Lumbard  Hurlbut,  Grand  Generalissimo,  V.  E.  Sir  Benjamin  Dean, 
Grand  Captain  General,  and  V.  E.  Sir  James  Sutton  Parvin,  Grand 
Recorder.  With  the  growth  of  the  Order  necessarily  a  vast  amount 
of  business  was  transacted,  and  after  a  very  harmonious  session  the 
Grand  Encampment  adjourned. 

The  nineteenth  Triennial  Conclave  was  held  at  New  Orleans  Decem- 
ber 1st  to  5th,  1874.  This  was  a  notable  gathering  also  ;  and  while 
it  was  not  so  largely  attended  as  the  former  meeting  at  Baltimore, 
still  the  whole  general  ensemble  was  of  the  same  gay,  gorgeous  dis- 
play, and  the  proverbial  hospitality  of  the  inhabitants  of  the  Crescent 
City  was  poured  forth  with  a  lavish  hand. 

The  parade  to  escort  the  officers  of  the  Grand  Encampment  to  Ma- 
sonic Hall  was  rich  in  the  extreme,  and  nature  tendered  her  best  work 
to  facilitate  the  cause.  Thirty  State  Grand  Commanderies  and  eleven 
subordinate  Commanderies  were  represented,  and  peace,  jo}r  and  har- 
mony prevailed.  The  regulation  relating  to  uniform,  adopted  in  1862, 
was  re-endorsed,  all  propositions  relating  to  its  change  being  voted 
down.  M.  E.  Sir  James  Herron  Hopkins  was  elected  Grand  Master, 
R.  E.  Sir  Y.  L.  Hurlbut,  Deputy  Grand  Master,  Sir  "Walter  Lawrence 
Bragg,  Grand  Generalissimo,  Sir  Edward  Thomas  Schultz,  Grand 
Captain  General,  and  Sir  T.  S.  Parvin  Grand  Recorder. 

The  twentieth  Triennial  Conclave  was  called  together  at  Cleveland, 
Ohio,  August  28th,  1877,  Tancred  Commandery,  No.  48,  of  Pitts- 
burg,  Pa.,  being  the  special  Commandery  detailed  by  the  Grand  Com- 
mander of  Pennsylvania,  as  the  escort  of  the  M.  E.  Grand  Master  Sir 
Knight  James  Herron  Hopkins.  The  arrangements  for  this  meeting 
were  of  a  very  elaborate  order,  and,  while  the  attendance  was  not  so 
great  as  was  expected,  still  the  Grand  Parade,  with  all  of  the  sur- 
roundings, was  of  such  a  character  as  to  give  renewed  eclat  to  the

chivalric  standing  of  the  Sir  Knights,  each  of  whom,  as  well  as  the 
Cotninanderies,  as  bodies,  vied  with  ^ach  other  as  to  who  could  best 
maintain  the  high  standing  accredited  to  them  in  the  general  estima- 
tion. The  report  of  the  M.  E.  Grand  Master1  was  recognized  as  one 
of  the  ablest  documents  ever  laid  before  the  General  Grand  Body, 
and  covered  every  point  that  naturally  presented  itself  to  the  chi valr.ic 
notice  of  the  Illustrious  Companions.  Much  valuable  legislation  was 
enacted.  Thirty-one  State  Grand  Commanderies  and  eleven  subordi- 
nate Commanderies  were  represented.  The  Parade  and  Review  was 
magnificent,  and  ably  carried  out.  Detroit  Commandery,  N-\  1,  as  at 
Baltimore,  again  carried  off  the  prize,  a  magnificent  banner,  of  which 
they  may  well  be  proud.  The  officers  elected  will  follow  in  the

AMERICAN    EXI'UICSS   BflLDINU ASYLUM    Off    APOLLO    COMMANDEKY 


THE  TRIENNIAL  COMMITTEE, 


ST.    BERNAKD. 

When  the  Chicago  Commanderies  returned  home  from  Cleveland, 
in  September,  1877,  with  the  knowledge  that  their  city  had  been  se- 
lected by  the  Grand  Encampment  of  Knights  Templar  for  the 
twenty-first  Triennial  Conclave,  to  be  held  in  August,  1880,  it  took 
but  a  short  time  to  realize  the  fact  that  there  was  a  stupendous  work 
before  them.  "  Let  the  Lord  arise,  and  let  His  enemies  be  scattered,'' 
sang  twenty  thousand  Knights,  as  their  banners  streamed  in  the  wind 
on  the  onward  march  to  Jerusalem.  The  tumult  of  battle  allowed  no 
time  for  delay.  Never  since  that  day  has  there  been  such  a  gathering 
of  Knights.  The  crescent  paled  before  the  cross.  Next  August,  sev- 
en hundred  and  eighty-five  years  from  the  time  the  tramp  of  ye 
ancient  Knight  shook  the  Eastern  empires,  will  be  assembled  a  host

more  formidable,  who  bear  the  cross,  but  not  to  draw  the  sword  upon 
this  favored  continent.  Never  will  that  happen  here  in  the  cause  of 
sect  or  religion.  Men  may  differ  in  their  creeds,  but  this  dispute  is 
one  of  words.  As  the  wave  of  civilization  flows  over  this  land,  it 
will  carry  the  softening  influences  of  the  knightly  character  with  it, 
and  that  will  have  an  influence  for  the  better  upon  all  mankind." 

It  is  befitting  that  Chicago,  great  in  all  things,  should  be  selected 
as  the  Mecca  of  the  Pilgrims.  It  is  fortunate,  too,  that  she  should 
have  at  the  head  of  one  of  her  Templar  organizations  the  man  of  all 
others  competent  to  carry  through,  to  a  successful  termination,  one  of 
the  grandest  events  ever  known  in  the  history  of  brilliant  Conclaves 
of  the  Grand  Encampment  of  the  United  States. 

At  a  Stated  Conclave  of  Apollo  Commandery,  No,  1,  held  February 
19,  1878,  a  resolution  was  unanimously  adopted,  raising  a  Committee 
of  five — of  which  Em.  Sir  Norman  T.  Gassette  was  to  be  Chairman, 
with  full  power  to  make  the  necessary  arrangements  for  the  Triennial 
Conclave  of  1880. 

On  the  6th  of  April,  the  Chairman  of  the  Committee  of  Apollo 
Commandery,  on  behalf  of  the  Committee,  indicted  a  letter  to  the  Emi- 
nent Commanders  of  Chicago  Commandery,  No.  19,  and  St.  Bernard 
Commandery,  No.  35,  requesting  the  appointment  of  a  similar  Com  - 
mittee  by  each  of  said  Commanderies,  and  requesting  a  conference 
meeting  for  organization.  Accordingly,  April  12,  the  several  Com- 
mittees appointed  by  the  Commanderies  named  met  as  vequested,  and 
effected  an  organization. 

On  the  18th  day  of  June,  a  meeting  of  the  several  Committees  was 
again  held,  when  their  credentials,  under  the^eal  of  said  three  Com- 
manderies, were  presented,  accepted,  recorded,  and  thus  ihe  Triennial 
Committee,  consisting  of 

E.  Sir  Norman  T.  Gassette,  Commander  Apo^o  No.  1,  Chairman 

E.  Sir  Lester  L.  Bond,  P.  C.  Chicago,  No.  19,  Vice  Chairman 

Sir  Geo.  M.  Moulton,  St.  Bernard  No.  35,  Secretary, 

Sir  DeWitt  C.  Cregier,  Apollo, 

Sir  "Warren  G.  Purdy,  Apollo,

became  permanently  organized. 

At  the  meeting  of  the  Grand  Commandery  of  the  State  of  Illinois, 
in  October  next  ensuing,  after  a  statement  of  the  action  of  the  local 
Commanderies  had  been  made  to  that  body,  the  following  resolution 
was  unanimously  adopted  . 

Resolved,  That  the  report  of  E.  Sir  Norman  T.  Gassette  be  received, 
and  the  action  had  by  the  Committee  be  approved,  and  that  the  Com- 
mittee be  continued  under  the  auspices  of  this  Grand  Commandery. 

The  Permanent  Committee  of  the  three  Commanderies  named, 
clothed  with  the  added  authority  of  their  Grand  Commandery,  fuliy 
mindful  of  the  great  responsibility  resting  upon  them,  have  labored 
diligently  for  the  accomplishment  of  the  results  sought  to  be  obtained. 

The  first  business  done  was  the  absorption  of  the  entire  hotel  capa- 
city of  the  city  (which  is  second  only  to  New  York)  for  their  Templar 
guests,  and  to  assign  them  to  quarters  in  the  order  in  which  they  sig- 
nified their  intention  to  be  present,  a  communication  to  the  following 
effect  having  been  sent  to  each  Grand  and  subordinate  Commandery 
in  the  United  States  : 

CHICAGO,  August  18th,  1879,  A.  O.  761. 
To  the  Eminent  Commander,  Generalissimo,  Captain  General  and  Sir 

Knights  of  -     -  Commandery,  No.  — ,  Knights  Templar,  stationed

KNIGHTIA  AND  GREETING  :  The  Grand  Encampment  of  Knights 
Templar  of  the  United  States,  having  determined  to  hold  its  Twenty- 
First  Triennial  Conclave  in  the  city  of  Chicago,  Illinois,  Tuesday,

TRIENNIAL    COMMITTEES. 


August  17th,  1880,  A.  O.  762,  the  Triennial  Committee  of  Knights 
Templar,  acting  by  authority  of  Apollo,  Chicago  and  St.  Bernard 
Commanderies,  stationed  at  Chicago,  and  with  the  sanction,  and  by 
authority  of  the  Grand  Commandery  of  Knights  Templar,  and  the 
Right  Eminent  Grand  Commander  of  Illinois — whom  they  also  rep- 
resent— courteously  and  fraternally  invite  your  Commandery  to  be 
present,  and,  on  that  occasion,  participate  in  the  escort  of  the  Grand 
Encampment  to  the  Asylum. 

The  following  is  a  part  of  a  standing  resolution,  adopted  by  the 
Grand  Encampment,  to  wit : 

"That  the  Grand  Encampment  will  hereafter  accept  no  invitation  to 
unite  in  a  parade  during  its  sessions,  and  it  hereby  prohibits  any  of 
its  members  from  participating  in  a  Templar  parade  during  its  ses- 
sions, except  to  escort  the  Grand  Encampment  to  the  Asylum,  at  the 
opening  of  the  Triennial  Conclave." 

The  Grand  Parade,  consequently,  will  be  limited  to  escorting  the 
Grand  Encampment  to  the  Asylum  on  the  first  day,  Tuesday,  August 
17th,  1880.

PROGRAMME  OF  ENTERTAINMENT 

FOR    THE    WEEK. 


JIOJTQAY,  AUGUST,  16,  1880. 

The  receiving  and  escorting  of  visiting  Commanderies  as  they  arrive, 
to  their  several  quarters.  In  the  evening  three  general  receptions  will 
be  held  at  8  o'clock,  P.  M. — at  the  new  Central  Music  Hall,  corner  of 
State  and  Randolph  Streets,  McCormick's  Hall,  corner  of  North 
Kinzie  and  Clark  Streets,  and  at  Farwell  Hall,  on  Madison  Street,  near 
Clark — at  each  of  which  guests  will  l>e  cordially  welcomed  by  knightly 
speakers,  and  a  brilliant  musical  programme  will  be  given. 


TUESQA  Y,  A  UG-  UST  1^. 

At  10  o'clock,  A.  M.,  prompt,  the  Grand  Parade  and  Eeview  by  the 
Most  Eminent  Grand  Master,  VINCENT  LUMBAED  HUKLBUT,  and  tin; 
escort  of  the  Grand  Encampment  to  the  Asylum,  on  Lake  Front  Park, 
will  take  place.  The  various  divisions  will  form  on  the  east  and  west 
streets,  right  resting  on  Wabash  Avenue,  and  at  the  hour  named,  the 
head  of  the  column,  Apollo  Commandery,  No.  1,  will  take  up  the  line 
of  march  from  Lake  Street,  south  on  "Wabash  Avenue  to  Twenty-First 
Street,  east  on  Twenty-First  to  Prairie  Avenue,  north  to  Sixteenth 
Street,  east  to  Michigan  Avenue,  north  to  Lake  Street,  where  it  will 
countermarch,  to  enable  the  Sir  Knights  in  line  to  view  the  pageant, 
and  extend  marching  courtesies  to  each  other.  On  reaching  the  ex- 
treme left  of  the  line,  it  will  again  countermarch  and  pass  over  the 
same  ground  to  Lake  Street,  east  on  Lake  to  Fifth  Avenue,  south  to 
Washington  Street,  east  to  Clark,  and  south  on  Clark  to  Jackson

Street,  where  it  will  be  dismissed,  each  division  moving  off  to  its  own 
quarters. 

On  W abash  Avenue,  commencing  at  Adams  Street,  will  be  erected 
a  series  of  arches,  sixteen  in  number,  about  three  hundred  feet  apart, 
and  ending  with  the  Grand  Arch  and  Stand  at  Fourteenth  Street,  from 
whence  the  Most  Eminent  Grand  Master  will  review  the  cortege. 

It  will  be  incumbent  on  every  Commander  to  see  that  his  command 
is  in  line  at  the  time  and  place  designated  in  the  General  Orders  of 
the  day  ;  for,  Chicago  being  pre-eminently  a  railroad  city,  everything 
will  be  conducted  on  schedule  time,  and  neither  the  Sir  Knights  on 
parade,  nor  the  general  public,  will  suffer  from  unnecessary  delays  at 
any  point.  The  Grand  Encampment  will  arrive  at  their  Asylum  a  few 
minutes  before  the  sun  reaches  its  meridian. 

Every  hour  during  the  afternoon,  until  6  P.  M.,  there  will  be  boat 
exciirsions— weather  permitting — on  Lake  Michigan.  A  large  fleet  of 
steamers  will  be  in  use,  providing  ample  accommodations  for  all  who 
desire  to  avail  themselves  of  a  trip  on  the  water. 

In  the  evening  the  Grande  Reception  Musicale  et  Dansante,  ten- 
dered by  the  Sir  Knights  of  Chicago  to  their  Fraters  and  Ladyes 
Faire,  will  be  given  at  the  Grand  Exposition  Building,  which  has  a 
capacity  to  accommodate  seventy  thousand  people.  Indeed  no  grander 
sight  can  be  witnessed,  than  from  the  galleries,  to  see  ten  thousand 
couples  on  the  floor  below,  moving  to  the  music  of  the  numerous 
bands  on  the  "  light  fantastic."  The  building  is  so  vast  that  all  can 
be  cared  for  without  crowding. 


WEQJTESQA  Y,  A  UG-  UST  18. 

At  9.30,  A.  M.,  the  Grand  Competitive  Prize  Drill  will  commence 
at  the  Chicago  Jockey  Club  Park,  which  is  located  just  west  of  Cen- 
tral Park,  and  is  reached  by  the  Madison  Street  car  line,  and  also  by 
trains  en  the  Chicago  and  Northwestern  Railway,  which  M'ill  run 
every  ten  minutes  to  a  point  near  the  entrance  of  the  grounds.  Every 
facility  will  be  offered  to  accommodate  the  thousands  who  may  desire 


1'KOGRAMME    OF    ENTERTAINMENT.  87 

to  witness  the  splendid  movements  of  well  trained  chivalric  soldiers, 
and  their  beautiful  evolutions. 

The  prizes,  five  in  number,  offered  by  the  Grand  Commandery  of 
the  State  of  Illinois  and  the  Sir  Knights  of  Chicago,  are  appropriate, 
and  of  a  character  creditable  to  the  generous  spirit  which  should  pre- 
vail on  such  an  occasion. 

At  9.30,  A.  M.,  also — weather  permitting — and  hourly  thereafter, 
until  6,  P.  M.,  there  will  be  day  boat  excursions  upon  Lake  Michigan 
to  the  Crib,  Evanston,  South  Chicago,  and  elsewhere  to  points  of  inte- 
rest in  the  vicini^-  ,  the  entire  fleet  of  steamers  being  at  the  disposal 
of  the  Committee. 

At  8,  P.  M.,  and  thereafter,  there  will  be  moonlight  boat  excursions 
upon  the  Lake. 

At  8,  P.  M.,  also,  there  will  be  performances  at  McVicker's  Theater, 
Haverly's  Theater,  Hooley's  Theater,  and  other  places  of  amusement, 
for  the  gratuitous  and  complimentary  entertainment  of  Templar  guests 
and  their  ladies,  at  the  invitation  of  the  Sir  Knights  of  Chicago. 

On  this  evening,  also,  there  is  in  preparation  a  grand  surprise,  which 
would  not  be  one  if  farther  mention  were  made  of  it  here  or  elsewhere. 

Receptions  will  be  held  at  the  different  Commaiidery  Headquarters. 


THIXRSQA  Y,  A  UG-  UST  19. 

At  9.30,  A.  M.,  the  Grand  Competitive  Prize  Drill  will  be  contin- 
ued, at  Chicago  Jockey  Club  Park. 

In  the  city  the  day  will  be  devoted  to  exchanging  courtesies,  and  to 
such  entertainments  as  the  exigencies  may  require,  for  the  pleasure  of 
those  who  remain. 

In  the  evening,  in  addition  to  the  Eeceptions  at  the  various  Head- 
quarters, another  grand  surprise  is  to  come  off.  It  were  well  that  all 
remain  to  participate  in  it. 

Friday  will  be  devoted  to  a  renewal  of  the   friendships  created,  er

the  last  word  is  spoken  that  closes  the  chapter  on  this  ever  to  he  me- 
morable occasion. 

Notwithstanding  the  vast  Hotel  resources  of  the  Garden  City  of  the 
West,  her  capacity  will  be  taxed  to  the  utmost.  Her  citizens  have 
nobly  stepped  forward  in  the  breach,  however,  and  all  who  come  will 
receive  hospitable  welcome  and  be  well  cared  for.  One  of  the  greatest 
features  of  the  'occasion  will  be  the  Templars'1  Camp  on  the  Lake 
Front. 

A  temporary  bunding  in  the  form  of  a  Passion  Cross  is  to  lie 
erected  on  Lake  Front  Park,  for  the  sessions  of  the  Grand  Encamp- 
ment. Surrounding  this,  and  extending  from  Jackson  Street  on  the 
north  to  Park  Row  on  the  South,  about  three-c[iiarters  of  a  mile  in 
length,  and  from  Michigan  Avenue  to  the  Lake,  will  be  erected  a  mili- 
tary Camp,  with  over  two  thoiisand  Tents,  kindly  loaned  by  the  War 
Department,  under  an  act  of  Congress  passed  in  April  last.  The 
equipment  is  the  Government  Reserves,  and  will  take  a  train  of  about 
thirty  freight  cars  to  bring  to  Chicago.  The  Cots  and  Bedding  are  all 
provided  under  contract  by  the  Committee,  and  everything  will  be  as 
comfortable  as  in  one's  own  home. 

The  Police  arrangements  are  of  the  best.  .Each  five  tents  is  provi- 
ded with  a  special  attendant.  The  meals  of  the  Grand  Armee  will  be 
furnished  by  Sir  John  Wright,  Caterer,  in  the  Exposition  building.

The  Grand  Encampment. 

Sir  Charles  R.  Woodruff,  of  Kentucky,  says  :  "  It  is  very  gratifying 
to  record  that  the  Grand  Encampment  of  the  United  States  is  becom- 
ing more  popular  year  by  year  throughout  its  jurisdiction.  Expres- 
sions of  discontent  and  carping  criticisms  are  quite  infrequent  of  late, 
and  a  settled  feeling  of  loyalty  is  the  prevailing,  if  not  the  universal 
sentiment.  This  is  as  it  should  be,  not  only  because  in  union  there  is 
strength,  but  the  Grand  Encampment,  by  a  wholesome  exercise  of  its 
legitimate  authority,  has  succeeded  in  making  Knight  Templary  what 
it  is  to-day. 

"A  judicious  attention  in  the  future  to  the  principles  of  justice  and 
fairness,  and  a  severe  letting  alone  of  affairs  belonging  to  subordinate 
bodies  only,  will  insure  to  the  Order  immeasurable  prosperity  and 
evolve  posibilities  for  the  accomplishment  of  incalculable  good. 

"  The  Grand  Encampment  has  persistently  neglected  the  Ritual, 
which,  in  consequence  is  becoming  revised,  and  enlarged,  and  embel- 
lished, until  after  a  while  it  will  scarcely  be  recognizable.  It  were  an 
easy  matter  to  authorize  a  satisfactory  Ritual  for  common  use  ;  and 
when  once  decided  upon,  it  should  be  printed  with  the  greatest  care, 
and  rigidly  adhered  to.  A  uniform  system  of  Tactics  and  Drill  may 
not  be  so  important.  Templars  are  everywhere  drilled  much  upon  the 
same  principles.  The  Tactics  of  Sir  Knight  H.  B.  Grant,  which  have 
already  received  the  approval  of  two  Grand  Commanderies,  so  sim- 
plify the  drill  and  movements,  that  there  is  now  but  little  if  anything 
left  to  be  desired  in  this  direction. 

"  The  most  prominent  feature  of  our  Triennial  Conclaves  is  the  so- 
ciability engendered,  which  renders  them  more  and  more  attractive  at 
every  meeting,  and  requires  increasing  manifestations  of  hospitality 
and  courtesy. 

"  The  assembling  of  Templar  Fraters  from  the  most  distant  parts  of 
the  land  is  a  magnificent  spectacle,  and  commends  itself  most  charm-

ingly  to  every  candid  member  of  our  noble  Order.  The  Sir  Knights 
have  an  unquestionable  right  to  manifest  their  admiration  for  the 
Order,  and  their  devotion  to  it,  by  such  proper  display  as  they  desire, 
the  munificence  of  which  is  only  to  be  limited  by  their  wishes. 

"The  Grand  Encampment,  at  any  rate,  has  proved  itself  a  necessity 
to  American  lemplary,  and  we  are  confident  of  representing  the  sen- 
timents of  Kentucky  Sir  Knights  in  closing  this  our  sixth  annual 
report  on  correspondence,  to  wish,  for  our  Grand  Governing  Body, 
'  a  long  and  happy  reign.' " 


Cleopatra's  Needle. 

Great  interest  has  been  excited  in  regard  to  this  obelisk,  which  is 
being  removed  from  Alexandria  to  New  York,  by  the  finding  tinder 
the  foundation  certain  emblems  which  Lt.  Com.  Gorringe,  who  is  su- 
perintending its  removal,  pronounces  to  be  masonic.  The  emblems 
discovered  are  an  apron  cut  in  stone,  a  cubic  stone,  a  mosaic  pave- 
ment, a  perfect  ashlar,  a  rough  ashlar,  a  square  and  a  trowel.  As  the 
obelisk  was  first  erected  in  Heliopolis,  1,500  years  B.  C.,  it  is  argued 
that  masonry  is  proved  to  have  existed  before  King  Solomon.  But  as 
the  emblems  may  have  been  put  under  the  foundation  when  it  was 
removed  to  Alexandria,  in  the  seventh  year  of  Augustus  Csesar,  B.  C. 
24,  it  is  possible  that  the  Roman  Guild  of  Masons  may  have  been 
their  originators.  Leading  masons  are  chary  of  endorsing  either  the- 
ory until  a  more  careful  study  has  been  given  to  the  subject. 


-  Sir  DeWitt  Clinton  once  said  :  "  Although  the  origin  of  our 
fraternity  is  covered  with  darkness,  and  its  history  is,  to  a  great  extent, 
obscure,  yet  we  can  confidently  say  that  it  is  the  most  ancient  society 
in  the  world,  and  we  are  equally  certain  that  its  principles  are  based 
on  pure  morality — that  its  ethics  are  the  ethics  of  Christianity,  its 
doctrines  the  doctrines  of  patriotism  and.  brotherly  love,  and  its  senti- 
ments the  sentiments  of  exalted  benevolence.  Upon  these  points 
there  can  be  no  doubt.  All  that  is  good,  kind,  charitable,  it  encoura- 
ges ;  all  that  is  vicious,  cruel  and  oppressive,  it  reprobates."

Freemasonry. 

We  have  heard  persons,  apparently  in  good  faith,  declare  that  Ma- 
sonry seeks  to  set  itself  up  as  a  kind  of  religion,  thus  inculcating 
teachings  which  find  expression  in  the  saying  of  some  of  the  members, 
that  "  they  want  no  better  religion  than  Masonry."  Certainly  no  one 
connected  with  the  Order  will  claim  that  it  teaches  anything  like  a 
religious  dogma,  or  that  it  fails  to  inculcate  the  broadest  catholicity 
of  thought  and  feeling,  and  at  the  same  time  is  founded  upon  the 
broadest  principles  of  morality.  Grand  Chaplain  John  G.  Webster, 
of  New  York,  once  said  : 

"Freemasonry  never  yet,  as  I  have  heard,  attempted  to  work  mira- 
cles. It  never  yet  infused  brains  into  a  cranium  that  had  no  cavity 
for  their  reception,  nor  did  it  ever  send  human  blood  courting  through 
a  heart  of  granite.  Its  mission  is  to  improve,  not  to  create,  and  the 
material  for  its  use  must  be  capable  of  being  moulded,  or  it  cannot 
work  it  up.  Again,  Masonry  is  not  religion,  in  a  sectarian  sense,  nor 
a  substitute  for  it,  and  he  who  pretends  that,  or  declares  it  to  be  "  a 
good  enough  religion  "  for  him,  hoists  it  out  of  its  legitimate  place, 
inflicts  upon  it  a  grievous  wrong,  and  lays  himself  open  to  the  suspi- 
cion of  ignorance  of  its  teachings.  While  it  inculcates  a  firm  faith 
in  the  Being  and  divine  attributes  of  God,  almighty  and  eternal,  and 
while  it  includes  within  its  acknowledged  brotherhood,  standing  side 
by  side  upon  the  same  level  of  manhood,  my  Hebrew  brother,  who 
worships  Grod  in  unity,  and  myself,  who  worship  him  triune  ;  and, 
while  it  presents  to  me,  as  it  does  not  to  him,  the  story  of  Messiah  in 
manv  of  its  ceremoinies  ;  and  while  it  inculcates  to  both  of  us  alike, 
reverence  of  the  Divine  Being,  attention  to  His  word,  and  invocation 
for  His  aid  in  all  of  our  laudable  undertakings,  it  imposes  upon  nei- 
ther religious  dogma.  It  leaves  that  for  a  different  department  of 
man's  duties.  It  is  no  substitute  for  that  department,  never  was  in- 
tended to  be,  and  never  will  be  pretended  to  be,  by  the  well-instructed 
Mason."

A  Romantic  Love  Story. 

The  Count  de  St.  Croix,  belonging  to  one  of  the  oldest,  noblest  and 
wealthiest  families  of  France,  became  engaged,  after  a  long  and1  assid- 
uous courtship,  to  a  lady  who  was  his  equal  in  position,  and  fortune, 
and  famous  for  her  beauty.  Shortly  after  the  happy  day  was  appoint- 
ed, which  was  to  render  two  hearts  one,  the  Count  was  ordered  imme- 
diately to  the  siege  of  Sebastopol  ;  so  he  girded  on  his  sabre,  and  at 
the  head  of  his  regiment  inarched  to  the  battle-field. 

During  the  Count's  absence  it  happened  that  the  beautiful  lady  who 
was  to  be  his  bride  had  the  small-pox.  After  hovering  between  life 
and  death  for  many  days,  she  recovered  her  health,  but  her  beauty 
was  hopelessly  lost.  The  disease  had  assumed  in  her  case  the  most 
virulent  character,  and  left  her  not  only  disfigured  but  seamed  and 
scarred  to  such  a  frightful  extent  that  she  became  hideous  to  herself, 
and  resolved  to  pass  the  remainder  of  her  days  in  the  strictest  seclu- 
sion. 

A  year  passed  away,  when  one  day  the  Count,  immediately  on  his 
return  to  France,  accompanied  by  his  valet,  presented  himself  at  the 
residence  of  his  betrothed,  and  solicited  an  interview.  This  was  re- 
fused. He,  however,  with  the  persistence  of  a  lover,  pressed  his  suit, 
and  finally  the  lady  made  her  appearance,  closely  muffled  in  a.  double 
veil. 

At  the  sound  of  her  voice  the  Count  reached  forward  to  embrace 
her,  but  stepping  aside  she  tremblingly  told  him  the  story  of  her  sor- 
rows, and  burst  into  tears.  A  heavenly  smile  broke  over  the  Count's 
handsome  features,  as,  raising  his  hand  above,  he  exclaimed  : 

"  It  is  God's  work.     I  am  blind  !" 

It  was  even  so.  While  gallantly  leading  his  regiment  to  the  attack, 
a  cannon  ball  passed  so  closely  to  his  eyes  that,  while  it  left  their  ex- 
pression unchanged  and  his  countenance  unmarked,  it  robbed  him 
forever  of  his  sight. 

If  is  almost  unnecessary  to  add  that  their  marriage  was  shortly  after 
solemnized.

MISCELLAXEOUS. 


—  Putting  a  hoop  on  the  family  flour  barrel  is  an  operation  that 
will  hardly  bear  an  encore.  The  woman  generally  attempts  it  before 
the  man  comes  home  to-dinner.  She  sets  the  hoop  upon  the  end  of 
the  staves,  takes  a  deliberate  aim  with  the  rolling  pin,  and  then  shut- 
•  ting  both  e^es  brings  the  pin  down  with  all  the  force  of  one  arm, 
while  the  other  instinctively  shields  her  face.  Then  she  makes  a  dive 
for  the  camphor  and  unbleached  muslin,  and  when  the  man  comes 
home  she  is  sitting  behind  the  stove,  thinking  of  St.  Stephen  and  the 
other  martyrs,  while  the  6nrnt  dinner  attests  that  the  camphor  has  re- 
ceived a  great  deal  of  attention.  He  tells  her  if  she  had  kept  her 
temper  she  wouldn't  have  got  hurt.  Then  he  visits  the  barrel  him- 
self, and  puts  the  hoop  on  very  carefully,  and  adjusts  it  so  nicely  to 
the  top  of  every  stave  that  only  a  few  smart  knocks  are  apparently 
needed  to  bring  it  down  all  right.  Then  he  laughs  to  himself  to  think 
what  a  fuss  his  wife  kicked  up  over  a  simple  matter  that  only  needed 
a  little  patience  ;  and  then  he  gets  the  hammer  and  fetches  the  hoop  a 
sharp  rap  on  one  side,  and  the  other  side  flies  up  and  catches  him  upon 
the  bridge  of  the  nose,  filling  his  soul  with  wrath  and  his  eyes  with 
tears,  and  the  next  instant  that  barrel  is  flying  across  the  room,  ac- 
companied by  the  hammer,  and  another  candidate  for  camphor  and 
court-plaster  is  enrolled  in  the  great  army  that  is  unceasingly  march- 
ing toward  the  grave. 


• —  Appropos  of  church  fairs,  and  their  frequently  very  questionable 
devices  for  raising  money,  we  are  reminded  of  the  following  anecdote 
of  Dean  Richmond  :  A  minister  of  a  western  town  was  one  evening 
accosted  at  a  fair  of  his  church,  by  Richmond,  with,  "  Dominie,  I 
don't  exactly  understand  all  your  games  here,  but  I  would  like  to  help 
the  cause  along.  If  you've  no  objection,  I  would  like  to  go  into  one 
of  these  sid'e  rooms  and  try  a  game  of  poker  with  you — the  winnings 
to  go  to  the  church,  anyway."  The  parson  squirmed  a  little,  as  he 
declined  the  proposal,  and  at  succeeding  fairs  of  that  church  the  game 
of  blanks  aud  prizes  disappeared.

THE  PUNJAUB. — The  District  Grand  Lodge  of  the  Punjaub,  India, 
says  Major  Ramsay,  of  the  English  army,  is  in  a  flourishing  condi- 
tion. Six  Lodges  assisted  in  the  organization  of  the  D.  G.  L.  in  1869, 
having  then  149  subscribing  members.  Their  tenth  year  closed  with 
18  Lodges  and  558  members.  During  the  ten  years  the  District 
Grand  Lodge  expended  in  benevolence  $26,000,  and  they  have  now  an 
equal  sum  on  hand.  The  Punjaub  is  the  extreme  northwestern  prin- 
cipality of  India,  situated  between  the  Chinese  Empire  and  Afghan- 
istan, with  the  extreme  limit  touching  Turkestan. 


UNANIMITY. — Among  the  variety  of  duties  incumbent  upon  Masons, 
there  is  none  more  eflicacious  to  the  welfare  of  our  institution  than 
unanimity.  This  makes  the  cement,  the  great  principle  of  cohesion, 
which  gives  compactness  to  all  the  parts  and  members,  forms  them 
into  a  regular  structure,  into  one  uniform  building,  and  adds  harmony 
and  beauty,  firmness  and  stability  to  the  whole  work.  Or  it  may  be 
likened  to  the  keystone,  which  compacts  and  strengthens  the  arch  on 
which  the  edifice  is  supported  and  upheld. 


KADOSCH  OF  THE  JESUITS. — Thory  tells  us  that  this  grade  was  in- 
vented by  the  Jesuits,  and  was  for  the  purpose  of  aiding  the  Templars 
and  restoring  to  them  their  possessions.  Why  DeBonneville  called 
his  system  the  "  Chapitre  de  Clement "  is  not  clear,  and  it  may  have 
had  its  origin  with  some  Jesuits  of  that  College  ;  "but,"  says  Ken- 
ning, "  I  doubt  the  story." 


CRESCENT. — In  heraldry  bearing  the  form  of  a  half  moon.  Crescent 
has  been  applied  to  the  three  orders  of  knighthood — that  instituted 
by  Charles,  King  of  Naples,  in  1268  ;  that  by  Rene,  of  Anjou,  in 
144S,  and  that  by  Sultan  Selim  in  1801.  The  latter  is  still  in  exist- 
ence, and  remarkable  from  the  fact  that  none  but  Christians  are  eligi- 
ble for  admission.

How  to  Cure  a  Cold. 

An  old  paper  thus  furnishes  a  panacea  for  all  the  coughs  and  lung 
complaints  that  human  flesh  is  heir  to  : 

"  One  of  our  citizens  who  has  been  troubled  with  a  severe  cold  on 
the  lungs,  effected  his  recovery  in  the  following  simple  manner  :  He 
boiled  a  little  boneset  and  horehound  together,  and  drank  freely  of  the 
tea  before  going  to  bed.  The  next  day  he  took  five  pills,  and  put  a 
plaster  on  his  back.  Under  advice  from  an  experienced  old  lady  he 
removed  the  latter  with  an  oyster  knife  in  the  afternoon,  and  slapped 
on  a  mustard  plaster  in  its  place.  His  mother  put  some  onion  drafts 
on  his  fest  and,  gave  him  a  lump  of  tar  to  swallow.  Then  he  put  hot 
brides  to  his  leet  and  went  to  bed.  Next  morning  another  old  lady 
came  in  with  a  bottle  of  goose  oil,  and  gave  him  a  dose  of  it  on  a 
quill ;  an  aunt  arrived  about  the  same  time,  with  a  bundle  of  sweet 
fern,  which  she  made  into  a  tea,  and  gave  him  every  half  hour  until 
noon,  when  life  took  a  big  dose  of  salts.  After  dinner  his  wife,  who 
had  seen  a  fine  old  lady  of  great  experience  in  doctoring,  gave  him 
two  pills  of  her  make,  about  the  size  of  an  English  walnut,  and  of  a 
similar  shape,  and  two  tablespoonfulls  of  home-made  balsam,  to  keep 
them  down.  Then  he  took  a  half  pint  of  hot  rum  at  the  suggestion 
of  an  old  sea  captain  in  the  next  house,  and  steamed  his  legs  with  an 
alcohol  bath.  At  this  crisis  two  of  the  neighbors  arrived,  who  saw  at 
once  that  his  blood  was  out  of  order,  and  gave  him  a  half-gallon  of 
spearmint  tea,  and  a  big  dose  of  castor  oil.  Before  going  to  bed  he 
took  eight  of  a  new  kind  of  pill,  wrapped  about  his  neck  a  flannel 
soaked  in  hot  vinegar  and  salt,  and  had  feathers  burnt  on  a  shovel  in 
his  room.  He  is  now  thoroughly  cured  and  full  of  gratitude." 


-  It  is  the  babbling  spring  that  flows  gently,  the  little  rivulet  that 
runs  along  day  and  night  by  the  farm  house,  that  is  useful,  rather 
than  the  swollen  flood  or  roaring  cataract.  It  is  not  by  great  deeds, 
but  by  the  quiet  virtues  of  life,  little  acts  of  kindness  and  courtesy, 
and  a  spirit  of  forbearance,  one  with  another,  that  the  most  good  is 
accomplished.
